Can I use this type of crank with a single disc? I assume I would need shorter bolts, but other than that is there anything to be concerned about?

Use em, they are nice

disc=chainring (fyi)

Right, thanks.

a couple hours of polishing and a 41t sugino 3/32" chainring gave me this

Sure. Just make sure you get their correct chainring bolts. You will need single ring bolts meant for BMX or track bikes. They run $7 for a set of 5.

Nice set of cranks, should have never sold the ones I had

What did you use to get it so nice?

There are so many nice cheap road doubles on Ebay.

hell yeah use them. i wish i could put my chainring on the outside of my road cranks... it would look so much better

Wait. Am I looking at the top picture wrong, or did xg43x grind the *inside* of his road double?

That's dedication, dude.

I was thinking the same thing..

Lots of cranks on ebay but they are all so long. Maybe I'm weird but I can't spin very fast on 172.5's, and I really like the feel of my 165's. Not to mention pedalstrike issues...

Aluminum is incredibly soft, a good file and less than a minute on each tab will take of the tabs. Afterwards, I sanded the tab smoothe and polished em out.

To get that finished I used a couple different scrubbing pads. Then some rubbing compound, followed by Mother's polishing compound. I need to polish em again, starting to get alittle dull.

I love me some Mother's polish.
