LOL. I recall being in the pits wrenching at a CX World Cup one year and innocuously (kinda) asking ‘hey, what’s the deal with all the spindles being 5mm+ too long for the shells? Is it spindle length or a they not bonded deep enough in the arm?’
Head sram tech looks awkward and says ‘I don’t know what you mean?’
Senior sram mechanic starts screaming ‘then why did I rebuild every athlete’s bike with new cranks today?!??!?’
