Default Re: Balance crank

I can get it lightened and balanced for you, cost though is about £400 for lightening and balancing and £200 for balancing. We have had great success with this and the SV crank can safely loose 1kg which makes a big difference in terms of reliability and how the motor makes its power.

No I didn't bother as the crank I was going to use was chowed up to death.

Might try hard welding it and machining it back... maybe. But that is a while off

You wouldn't do it with clutch fitted to SV. Flywheel can also be lightened a lot or changed for a trick one.

How does it increase reliability lightening the crank itself?
