Long shot but anyone got some smallish cranks of about 140 to 150 in length and a big 65 tooth or higher chainring laying about gathering dust?

Looking to try some shorter cranks and simplify the drivetrain on the wasp

Andy, I've got a 60odd tooth chainring you can try if you can find cranks to fit... its on long term loan from Fards, sure he won't mind me passing it on for experiments into gearing for you??

Send me an email and I'll send you a picture... I'm currently not int he workshop till later today.
BTW won't be racing this weekend sadly so can only left you have it at Hilingdon if its of interest.

Andy -  You don't say what sort of crank spindle you have, i.e. Octalink, ISIS, square-tapered?
