Origin-8 track crank spindle length MISPRINT

I just got an email back from Gary at Origin-8 who wasn't even aware that the packaging and site both list their track crank for a 118mm bb spindle (for a 120mm hub). This isn't right, it's 103mm.

I know not too many people here use this set but if someone looks it up on the search I want them to find the correct info.

Now, anyone want to trade me a 103mm for a brand new 113mm Shimano cartridge?

Dude, Gary's got a set of bars named after him. You should have asked for an autograph.

No, Gary IS a set of bars. He just bought a new pair of grips to wear to work.

Update: I just checked Origin-8.com and they made the correction on the page for the crank.

Think 118 was meant to pair with a 135 spaced rear hub? That's the only thing I could surmise.

118-15=103
135-15=120

Shimano doesn't make 103mm carts anymore or your stuck with "sugino 103's" or camp 102's.

I know. I have the Shimano. I wasn't asking for a 103 Shimano.

edit - Kinda sounds jerky, sorry. I'm just not sure if you misread my post.

Harris Cyclery sells the Sugino 103mm, here's a link for you guys.

Just as an FYI, I went with a 109, per Harris Cyclery website. Popped it on today and it give a 149mm chainline. So don't do that. But a 107 might do it.

118-15=103
135-15=120

135 mm hubs usually have chainlines of 52mm.

52-42 = 10

103 + 2*10 = 123


Or so my logic goes........

Assume you meant 49. Move that chainring to the inside and you'll get a 44
