reground crank

[Peter]

hi guys,
i just got my new crank yesterday..
its a dpr and the box says:
mains: 10
rods: 10
its kinda stupid to ask, but that means that the crank is 0.010 inch undersized right?
this corresponds to  0.25 mm undersized bearings ,ok?

thanks, Peter

That's correct. It's common to grind a welded stroker or counterweighted crank to first undersize to make sure the journals are straight.

jumpin on the wagon here!!! but how much can you safely go? i have one that is shipped to me and has been cut 0.5mm under. i know i can get bearings for this size but can you cut it again if nessecary?

thanks and sorry 'bout that

0.50mm (20 thou) is common enough. Two more grinds available after that.
