This got 'sucked into the recumbent forum' because, as you know from reading and replying to my posts in the 50+ forum, I AM A BENT RIDER and I am buying these cranks for my bent ... as stated in the last paragraph of the post.

Thanks for your input and I'll look it up, but once again, the bent community turns on someone who finds that bents aren't super wonderful for him. Note to all people considering buying a bent, don't ever criticise the things, the bent community doesn't like it. Jeez, I ask a question with the aim of improving things with my bent in the hope that I might learn to like the thing (and, I admit, trying to save a bit of money) and I get jumped on. I'm sorry that I don't find my bent wonderful like you find yours. I really wanted to, but it hasn't bloody worked out that way.
