Brand new Flatware Thunderbolt Crank Socket Drive Problem!
« on: May 18, 2014, 01:57:20 PM »
Hello i just bought those cranks, installed and big problem shows in. You Can see on the video what's going on.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUU0l8avOJs&feature=youtu.be
When crank is installed problem is the same. There is no looses on the crank only on the sprocket.reason litttle gap betwen sprocket and the BB bush. It seams to spindle was milled wrong.
See the arrow on the photo. 
Did someone else had this problem with those cranks?

I think when I had mine there was a spacer included with the sprocket which helped it fit flush.
Basically the sprocket would go on first, then the washer would go on and take up any of the hex left, and then the coned spacer for the BB would go on.


Didn't you get a very thin washer with the sprocket?

I would check with the seller then, as mine had a washer that I put on after the sprocket which allowed the gap to be sucked up.

Mine too!!!

I have a brand new gold sprocket in the package and it still has the little 1mm spacer inside so I would check back with how you purchased them from as it shoulda been in there

Yes, my distributor sent me a special washer, that I should have with crank.
