I've just been quoted £150 +vat to have my big ends reground to s size which seems a little bit on the expensive side to me, especially as ive got the cost of full working on top of that. Edited by matty on 16th Aug, 2013. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fusion-Fabri..._homepage_panel

Rob walker in oxfordshire Give him a google Very reasonable and familiar with minis :) That's who I spoke to. Lol I've spoken to him a few times before and he obviously knows his stuff with minis, but he didn't seem too interested on taking on the work and recommended someone else to do the grinding work then he'd do the wedging, blading balancing etc.. As a cranks not the cheapest part to post, I'd rather go to someone that can do the lot otherwise I'll be spending a fortune on posting and it'll ake forever to get done. I'll try med and see what they say I think. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fusion-Fabri..._homepage_panel

What about South Cerney engineering? Not a million miles away and I could meet you half way and take it to them to keep costs down? Drives

Cheers for the offer Paul, I had a good chat with Neil today about some good companies around your neck of the woods. I think Neil's going to find out costs and let me know. It sounds like they do everything, so sending it would probably be the easiest/cheapest way to get it there. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fusion-Fabri..._homepage_panel

My machine shop charges about £100 + VAT for a straight regrind, so £150 sounds about right. Metric is for people who can't do fractions. |

sounds reasonable , over here you'd pay more like 200. That sir, is not rust, it is the progressive mass reduction system

having read this, I'm regretting not buying more of the new standard cranks that were on special a few years back for £100 each including shells. |
