Has a juicy midrange
Er, no. The spline pattern takes care of that.Ensures crank arms are 180 degrees apart. There are f@&kwits about

I new you wouldn’t understand.That's better. Maybe an apostrophe? Where is the K?
I'm just so not with it. No wonder my 9yo daughter loves telling me I'm nearly half a 100 years old.I new you wouldn’t understand.
Isn't the shimano spline sort of symmetrical? Large spline at the bottom opposite large opening at the top?Er, no. The spline pattern takes care of that.
That is such a good feeling.Swapping a new M8120 caliper onto the front of the bike... Got everything connected, set up the bleed syringe and funnel, all good. Started trying to bleed up from the caliper, couldn't get fluid in. Hm. Odd. Double check the bleed nipple is open, try again. Still not. Confused. Recheck everything, make sure syringe is clear and funnel isn't blocked. Try again. NO!? WTF?
Oh. Funnel is on the wrong lever.
Who needs the rear brake anyway!I wish I couldn’t relate. Most recently tried a rear bleed 15 minutes before a race start. Did the above, kept pushing harder on syringe...until it blew the hose off and sprayed oil all over both pads and rotor....
Damn straight. Was planning that OTB anyway.Who needs the rear brake anyway!
There are two wider splines to align the left crank, but it means you can only put it on at 180 or 0 degrees, not anywhere in between. The little "safety" tab ain't going to help if you can't tell the two arm are pointing the same way....!Isn't the shimano spline sort of symmetrical?

I think they were once shipped like in the second image, 180° in the box, or i got some second hand that way?
Hence the joke about f&@kwits!There are two wider splines to align the left crank, but it means you can only put it on at 180 or 0 degrees, not anywhere in between. The little "safety" tab ain't going to help if you can't tell the two arm are pointing the same way....!
Anyway, as I said earlier, they made the two-piece design (not all are Hollowtech) for two or three years before some (probably American) ambulance-chasing lawyer made them add it.
Yeah, that's exactly why I deride the "safety" claim for the thing - it's so pathetic it's basically pointless.On a serious note. Horrible crash at the Scott 24hr when a bloke lost a crank arm at full tilt on bitumen....that piece of plastic wouldn’t have saved him
He may have been accounting for an asymmetry in his body? Or realigned for the power stroke? He is living in the futureSaw a friend who is an ace mechanic put a splined crank on at not 180 degrees and was riding it.
Prolly not Hollowtech cant remember .
Or testing a new triangular chain ring with triple offset power zonesHe may have been accounting for an asymmetry in his body? Or realigned for the power stroke? He is living in the future
What if he has moved into the third dimension and no longer pedals on a linear X/Y axis?Or testing a new triangular chain ring with triple offset power zones
braaaaaaaaaaaaaaap!!!Or testing a new triangular chain ring with triple offset power zones
