HELP ! Profile Crank Install - Poxy Fekin Thing !!!
« on: April 03, 2007, 10:33 PM »
Guys,

Please help  >:(  >:(   New Profile Race Crank 180 RHD.

Got the instructions and have followed them with no problem until now !  Putting on the 'other' crank arm and have tightened using the crank tool.  Well it won't go any further and it looks like this !

Also got these to nut things in the box but they aren't mentioned in the instructions !!









Haven't fek'd Brand Spanking Profiles have I?  :'(

You should just use the bolt now to pull it right in, the crank tool only starts them.

Use the spare washers that you have and put them on to the crank tool so that it will pull the crank on more, then use the bolt for the rest.

The nut look like they`re axle nuts and have nothing to do with the cranks  :daumenhoch:
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
 Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
 Follow your spirit, and upon this charge

DONT HIT THEM!! ffs.It loooks to me that you may have to many washers on the drive side if there is plenty of clearence between the crank arm and frame then take some off, I imagine that as it is now the chain line  may be out a little, as the others have said you should be able to pull on the non drive side arm on with the bolts, but make sure the drive side of the axle is pulled all the way through.
Another thought is what size chainring is that and have you tried your brakes on the frame, with the chain on just a thought but it might not fit, if the chainwheel is to small the chain will hit the brake, just something to bear ihn mind. :)

Bof,

The washers are set to what was instructed in the manual.  According to the manufacturer, the frame will take 25/9 so I should be cool with the brakes!

Thanks Gents, I'll have another go tonight, Just wanna ride the poxy thing  >:(

i had this the other day when i fitted my set i got off andy.
i just gave em a good ole bash with the lump hammer to get them on level.
they are well tight though.

what sort of rear brake you using on that with so low a front sprocket.
mine just catches with a 36 that looks way smaller.

Its a federal frame that will apparently be fine with 25/9 gearing.  I've bought a fly brake.........

Dave

They look good, are you running profiles and do you know if the hop-up kits fit Redline Flights?

good luck with the brake then.
i'd be interested to see how it goes with the fly brake as i would'nt mind going smaller chain wheel on mine.
