well i'll just have to politely disagree on that , and exact science doesn't require spacers or angle grinders : )

if I was keeping the old crank I probly would have spent more time on it, but they were old crap from 1990, so I'l start fresh with the new SRAM cranks and go from there. Regardless, the most I could have moved the old cranks out was another 2mm, not nearly enough.
I am slowly transitioning all our bikes to SRAM, I might not be getting the very best but I'm more willing to accept little problems when the parts cost 30% less. I'll report back on how it fits , you will probably get a chance to say " TOLD YA SO!"
