Octalink Compatible?
I was wondering if my Dura-Ace crank is Octalink compatible? What was the first year Octalink came out? The bike is a 1997 8-speed Trek.
Thanks,
Mick

Remove the bolt from the crank. Look in the hole. If it is square, NO. If it is circular with eight splines, YES

True, but for some the ocular test works best.
