So far so good .... For my older steel touring bike, the crank has been changed from 52/38 steel chain rings (130) BCD to a stronglight impact (110) BCD 49/36 (TA specialities very hard alu chain rings). The front mech had to be moved down and adjusted but appears OK. The bottom bracket is square tapered and the new crank appears to be sitting very well both sides!
The reason for the crank change was a prior rear cassette change 12/32 was just barely getting me up the steep hills. Has anybody else changed over to a 'compact' type crank on an older frame?
This morning, I am going out for a good test ride ... results to follow.
