My new favorite (again) uni accessory

Hey Tom,

Great to see your having so much fun with those cranks.

Sorry, I missed the initial thread about these(if there was one), but
can you tell me if PDC did the drilling, or did you go to a shop up in
your neck of the woods for the drilling of the additional hole?

Are Kookas, the only cranks you can do this with? I know there hard to
find.

I ask only for my own curiosity. I still don't have a Coker, but the
concept intrigues me.

Keep rollin!!

Cheers.

Nice. The Espresso Mojo is feeling a little long in the cranks now.

How well did the extra hole fit on the Kooka cranks? Picture of the
new hole?

This weekend will be good.

I got some new toys too. A CygoLite LED light and a Foghat album.
Coker night rides again.

Oooh what CygoLite did you get? I have the Cygolite dualcross 300, it
has been nice for night rides on the coker.

The new '2008 DualCross Pro' (http://tinyurl.com/2kkfb7) with the NiMH
battery. They also have a diffuser option for the DualCross Pro now.
The diffusers are lenses that stick (adhesive) to the stock lens and
give a more wide angle light spread. Wider angle spread with an LED is
nice. Very few LED lights have a wide angle option. I just got the
light. I'm waiting on the helmet mount to get here (had to order it
separately).

If you are, can you put my name on the list? I have an original
square-tapered Schlumpf and thus cannot have the further flexibility of
the KH dual-hole cranks, so those multi-holed Kookas would be the only
way to do it.

Trouble is the small matter of getting them to me, as I seem to be on
the wrong side of the Atlantic pond.

Clicking the gold button is a cheaper, quicker and more effective way
still

Kookas aren't the only option. Remember 'this'

Well, getting towards -the -length anyway... surely 100s are -the
-length!

How do you find the large amount of extra crank spinning next to your
heel? At 110s setting you must be going quite fast - is there no fear
of catching them on your foot?

I don't call an £800 Schlumpf hub a "cheaper" solution.

- I never saw that thread first time round, so "remember this" is an
invalid question.
- Not all of us have the manual dexterity to put a shelf up, let
alone machine holes into existing cranks.

You already have the £800 Schlumpf. Clicking the button costs nothing.
Things don't get much cheaper than that!

I thought the thread was about finding a machine shop or bike shop that
could put threadded holes in cranks. The point being that there are
other options to buying pre-drilled Kookas from the USA.

Please also put me on the short list of customers if you decide to do
another round.
