Hi all,i have three GP cranks that are in need of a rod replacement,all the webs/threads/keyways are in good condition,so they are worth keeping.Can anybody recommend a supplier/dealer that can do the job,that will fit a good quality rod/bearing that will be strong enough for a tuned motor,and that wont cost me an arm and a leg?

Ive used chiselspeed and AF in the past - The actual cost to strip and rebuild it is usually not very much (an hours labour ish) its the cost of the rod kit you choose and if it requires the webs and/or rod machining.

I think harry is allergic to computers apart from porting programs, ring at 9.30am before he gets busy! as he wont hear the phone, grinding or dynoing
