give howard chambers a ring in st denys southampton, he does the black full circle cranks for 80 notes each.

i cant find his number but if you have issues of scootering going back 5+ years it'll be under chambers technical services.

I bought one of these cranks last week,

Is that the MEC/EUR crank in the green box? If so, yes, I've run two of these for several thousand miles each, albeit not on tuned TS1 power machines, but I've never had any problems with them. In fact, I don't recall seeing any bad posts about them on forums either.

So, is Howard still trading part time?

Just make sure you get the race version (with bigend shims) not the standard GP 200 version without,
they look pretty much identical.

Scooter Restorations are doing SIL ones with a silver cage big end bearing. Nothing wrong with SIL webs.
