Negative Positive
Title: Ha!
Review: Replaced the original cup-and-ball bearings (two outer races, a bunch of balls, the crank shaft, grease...) in my 25 year old Canondale SM600 (mountain bike) just like that. Wonderful. Don't forget the special tool. Use a torque wrench: 50-70 Newton Meters, about 45 Ft.Lb. Don't skip the grease or anti-seize compound. Chainwheel side is left hand thread. Two crank bolts are included.Update: When I installed it, I did not use spacers on the chain side causing the chain ring to be about 1/8 inch inboard of it's original location, (the original crankshaft was asymmetric), I noticed but did not think it important .... wrong .... so I got some spacers for it and reinstalled (and used a new cup). The front derailleur, it turns out, is very sensitive to this , at least on this bike, and I could not get it adjusted for good function.
Is the review positive or negative?
