  1. I have noticed unequal engagement of the cranks on Suzu hub.
    I was adviced to bang it with the hammer through the piece of wood.It
    did not work.The cranks are definitely the some make.The difference is
    some 3-4 mm.The nut stiks out a bit.
    Any kind advice please.🙂

  2. It is probably the cranks, not the hub. The Suzue hub is a really good
    hub despite its low price, and is available from a wide variety of
    suppliers. Cranks, however, unless they are expensive, tend to be
    erratic. Simply change out your cranks. It's not worth losing the
    wheel to save a set of cheap cranks.

    However, banging the cranks on with a hammer is not a good way to do it.
    It is dangerous to the hub, inconsistent, and cannot be calibrated.
    Grease the tapers and draw the cranks on with a torque wrench set to 40
    ft-lbs. Your LBS can do this for you if necessary.

  3. Swapping the cranks over would test to if it is the hub or the cranks
    that is in error.

    I'm with U-turn, new cranks are a lot cheaper than a new hub.
