Bought Wrong Size Crank - Possible To Modify?
Quick question.
I like to restore old vintage 10-12 speed bikes.
I wanted to spiffy up an old Raleigh Capri and so I bought a new crank and arms.
I didn’t notice the crank was for 7,8,9 speed freewheels. Mine is a 6 speed.
Thus, the chain line is not correct. The crank gear side needs to move inboard.
The only option I can think of is to try to file the inside of the crank to slide further onto the spindle?
Any other options?
Best regards,
