165 stoker cranks options? Or: WTB 165 tandem cranks :)
Any options for these other than Da Vinci?
Any outboard BB options? I think FSA used to make 165 stoker cranks, but no more.

Could you buy two right cranks (square taper, octalink, ISIS, etc), then get one helicoiled?

But now that I see the prices on the above options, helicoiling square taper or octalink cranks is definitely an option. Davinci still leading the field for the non-outboard bearing cranks though.

It should disassemble easily enough if you use extractor bolts.

I accidentally bought a Captains set that had been helicoiled without thinking.
I think the kits are pretty expensive, so if you're only doing one or two crank sets, talk to a couple of the better local bike shops about doing the work for you.
If making two rights into a right + left, you only need to do one side.

We used a helicoiled Ultegra 6500 crank to create a 165mm left-hand stoker crank for the Speedster.
No issues in 18 years and a bunch of miles.
My bike shop did the work - I suspect most competent shops could take this on.

FSA Gossamer 165mm stoker cranks may be available if you hunt around. We have a set that we like. I seem to recall it was about twice the cost of the matching captain crank.
With a BB30 spindle, you can have an external BB and use two right SRAM or Cannondale cranks (one helicoiled) plus a Cannondale SISL2 spindle to build a stoker crankset.

I have a spare set of 165 davinci cranks available if you want them. They are in good shape but could use some polishing.
