Rubenio Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 Hey all,I'm having quite a big problem with my Monty 221 PR ( from the year 2005).The problem is ; The right crank hits the horizontal fork. First I ride with an FSA Platinum Pro ( 12 CM) and with 2 SPACERS.Because there was so much "flex" in the crank or something , the crank and frame hit eachother. After a while It was so worse now there's even 1/2 mm out of my frame.Wich I did not see very fast because I had an Old Innertube on the horizontal fork. So I bought myself a Try-All 127.5 BB, After I Installed the BB I saw the RIGHT crank was still very close to the frame(while the left crank had very much space on the other side). I thought : lets put a spacer on it! but it has no effect because there is total no movement on the "free cup" So what I had to do now??? Are there other riders on this forum with the same bike as I ??Please Help Grtz.Rubenio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anodised Adamant Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 I actully have the 127.5 Try-all wich is very, very long.exactly mate you need a longer axle if it is hitting the frame or you have knocked the crank arm extremely hard and you have bent it so it catches the frame if a longer axle dont work then take it down to you local bike shop thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_travis Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 take some pictures for us,you are unlikely to get a longer axle than that unless your spending £50 to get a new truvativ or something.Get some good quality pictures sir, and then we will tell you what you might be able to do.

Anodised Adamant Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 Are you sure that your cranks are done up tight?the tighter you make them the closer they get to the frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basher Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 What cranks are they, chances are its a problem with your crank not the bb. Either your crank is bent or not made to go on a trials bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Token Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 I'm going with the crank, 127.5mm axle is plenty long enough for any frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubenio Posted May 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 It are Original Monty Cranks , wich are on the bike since I bought it.Grtz.Rubenio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 It are Original Monty Cranks , wich are on the bike since I bought it.Grtz.Rubenioyour crank must be bent then as there should be more than enough clearance as many other people have no problems with there montys and the frame will be made so there more than enough clearance. Out of interest does the bb work where it has to loose cups or one fixed on to the bb because if its to loose cups then your problem could be you have it all set up to far to one side.
