    It won't kill you to use a road crank. Go on, try it. I won't tell anyone.

    Well, the Shimano Dura Ace track stuff is *not* outboard bearing, so that's
    not an option.

    Well, the folks that make CODA components for Cannondale own the patent for
    the outboard bearing stuff, so maybe figure out whether they make a track
    crank.

    I second that. Get a set of BMX chainring bolts and you're
    set. A side benefit is that road chainrings are much cheaper.

  14. No self-respecting track rider would do this.

    This is one of those logically true but practically meaningless
    statements. It probably belongs in the thread where Heather is
    discusing philosophy of mathematics. A false premise implies
    any conclusion; so given that there are no self-respecting trackies,
    certainly none of these hypothetical self-respecting trackies
    would use a road crank. Much less with (gasp) BMX chainring bolts.
    You have to use Campy track chainring bolts that are 0.01mm
    longer and cost 10x as much, naturally.

    What I want to know is if any self-respecting trackie would use
    a crank with outboard bearings. And why.

  16. Point taken.

    No self-respecting track rider would ask r.b.r. what crank he should
    use.

  17. I don't know, I got the idea to do it after noticing that on both the
    bikes he brought to Masters' Natz a few years back, K Bostick had road
    cranks on 'em.

    I suppose we could debate whether he's a self-respecting track rider
    (or self-respecting whatever...), but I think that's probably been
    hashed out and decided in most folks' minds long ago.

  18. Kent Bostick rode on the track, but was not a track rider.

    If that doesn't make sense to you, don't bother formulating a reply.

    Thanks,

    -RJ

  19. I know where you're going with that, but I don't necessarily agree with
    you (not in total, at least).

    Are you saying that to be a 'track rider', you have to be first a
    trackie, and then maybe a roadie? Or, is a track rider ONLY a track
    rider?

    He's just being a crank.
