Arched Bicycle Crank Arm
- US Patent US2003/0075008 A1 by Ichiro Suga in Osaka Japan
Adjustable Crank Length
- Should they be balanced like an engine piston, top can add weights to balance out the weight of the pedal
- Then won't need a crank puller to remove off spindle
- Use a jam nut to lock in place and at custom angle incase rider's toe is pointed inward/outward
- Use MM threads so one full turn changes the crank length 1mm, if this is too fine, then 2mm
- What is the standard diameter of the frame bottom bracket shell that the crankset goes into?
