Thanks for the plug but the $69.95 model is actually a
different crank arm:

And the Tange BB sets with true replaceable sealed bearing
cartridges are less expensive than the non-serviceable
Shimano units.

Can you explain the difference between the Sugino XD and the XD-600?
Looks very similar? Thank!

Sugino says the XD600/2 designation is a different material
.. Those arms are also better finished and clear anodized.
Same outer rings, same inner rings, middle is AL ramped on
the XD600/2, satin chromed steel for XD.

(That isn't clearly better either way. High mileage cyclists
seek steel middle rings usually in spite of a few grams)

And what was wrong with model names? Sugino AeroTour, Idol,
Maxy, Guines were all a bit loopy but much better than
XD600/2 IMHO.

Are these ISO taper, JIS taper, or both?

I haven't measured, but I think the Deore cranks had a lower Q factor
on the same BB (somebody will surely correct me if I'm wrong, here). My
only complaint about my Suginos is that I needed to find a 103 mm BB to
get a satisfactory chainline and Q.

Actually, "Maxy" is a great model name since "Mighty" is the high end,
"Maxy" implies big but not ultimate. If they ever had a low end it
might be called "Sugino Mini".

I have always wondered the same things about Nissan Cars. We have the
"Maxima", the "Altima", so why isn't the small one called "The Nissan
Minima. The affordable generic car!"
