Tugrul:
Can you name a bike that came with a 5 series spindle?
I am not remotely that knowledgeable as to do this.
Or, do you still have your original spindle? Can you measure it,
Yes. The overall distance between the cotter flats (flat center to flat center)
is @115mm, between the cone bearing surfaces is @54mm, drive side cone
to cotter flat is @37mm, non drive @25mm. The crank, which I am reasonably
sure was original, is a Nervar 52/40.
if not send it to me?
Sadly, I must keep the spindle, even though I am aware it is just another
attachment to the material plane. Forgive me this bit of selfishness, I
shall no doubt have to answer for it someday.
Proof, once again, that it is better to be lucky than smart.
Yours,
Mike Larmer
