Jay T Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 Does anyone know who or where this is kind of work could be done in the UK? Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Shrewsbury Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 @JoshLeech or @euanbeaden, both on Instagram/Facebook and great engineers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigjames Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 Any engineering workshop should be able to do it, pillar drill, tap set (might not have both left and right thread?) and a grinder. What cranks are you shortening? By how much? And why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikee Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 (edited) That looks scary. Cranks usually have less material further up. Edit: Plus, wouldn't it make them too short. 22mm is quite a difference. Edited February 5, 2018 by Mikee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 What lengths are you trying to go to/from? Often cheaper and safer just to buy the part if it's an option, but if you're after something a bit special/one off then of course that's not always the case.

JoshLeech Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 (edited) I'd say this would very much depend on the crank you're trying to shorten. Could you pop some pictures up of the rear of the crank? Can I also ask why you're trying to shorten them? For a youngster?

AdamR28 Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Have done exactly this before - works a treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay T Posted February 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Sorry, didn’t intend to abandon the thread! Thanks for comments guys but I’ve got something sorted... who knew?! 135mm and 150mm off the bloody shelf! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
