Ditto for me, std square-taper please!

I have a set of 155mm Redline double BMX(?) cranks, and they work just fine for me except as soon as
I take a weekend trip outta town I'm going to need that small chain ring which I hadda leave off.
Been thinking about having a machinist drill and tap it. It has the bosses with lots of meat, could
be drilled with no problem. Prolly be cheaper than buying a new set. Anybody done that already?

Hey, guys, check out these folks. Not exactly cheap, but you can get *whatever* you want. I ordered
some shorties for myself and my wife (square taper), and the Thorns are very nice--excellent finish.
Of course, you gotta purchase chain rings and all, but we're happy with them. I'm running 155's, the
wife 150's.

These are the cheapest sub 165 mm triple cranks that you're going to find. 165 shimanos are the only
splined short crank that I know of. If you think the Thorn crank is costly, the only other short
triple that I know of is the TA Zephyr available from Peter White Cycles.

I have some Redline BMX cranks, but they are only double. Do you-all know of anyone who has
drilled/tapped in order to add an additional 3rd chain ring? If I did this, what do you suppose the
max run-out should be held to?
