    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.🙂

    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.
