I think i've seen something similar to this somewhere else before.....but i can't quite remember where.
Then i saw these pics, some bloke thats into scooters and makes a few bits now and then, has manufactured a small batch to go on sale with his other stuff......buts its under the counter and you have to ask for it and say the password first.
Now i'm not sure if these cranks will catch on or not..........they look as if half of them are missing!
Whatcha think? Any good?
The end of the Lambretta crank as we know it ???

better balace versus the piston??
Scootering since 1968.
Feck me since that Charlie Edmunds article everybodies gone low compression bonkers......but is this the right way to do it. I don't think so.
But looking forward to seeing some findings, you done a comparison on yours yet Dan?
Quote from MBD Full circle cranks info.....
The MBD Race-Tour crankshaft is probably the best crankshaft ever made for a Lambretta (and it is unlikely a better crankshaft will ever be made).
There is over 20 years of testing and development to produce these top quality crankshafts.
Its a far cry from what was previously the best crank in the world......

I'm all for new gear but lets get some real facts this time rather than just a big rant hey, dyno and road comparisons would be ideal.

???? vespa crank
2 stroke theory isn't my strong point,but I'll have a guess at part of the answer and say that reduced rotating mass produces an under square engine in terms of balance,so at low engine speed it'll a rough ride but flat-out nice and smooth,kinda like a nascar on an oval track.
How come phonetics isn't spelt with an 'f'?
