you're so right. didn't think it will become off center...
hmmm.
Off center. Crank arms not parallel. Tapers not fully engaged. Chances are those of us who are not mechanical engineers will miss a lot of things we should have thought about. That is why you get a new spindle. Of course...

You might get lucky, and things will work out just right. Or, you might find out, twenty miles away from home, the one, or both of the crank arms loosened off, rounding out the taper fits, there-by destroying the cranks. Which, of course, means that you get to walk home, buy the spindle and a new cranks set.

Good luck and keep us posted.
