Specialized S-Works Cranks (need a polish)

[nporternz]

Got these for 8 notes!!!!

anyone know if they are any good - seem to remember them n some of the higher end specialized BITD.

also whats the best way to polish them up

Nice buy! Don't have a clue about polish though.

bendy & flexy were two words used to describe something similar to these many moons ago - I think they were FSA and sold as 'Specialized Strongarm'

Nitromoors paint stripper to remove the laquer, then wire wool, T-Cut, jewelery polishing cloth etc.

The outer ring looks shagged - have something spare for the price of postage...

yes I have the FSA ones (if they are the same) and they have started creaking (tapers worn)...

polishing

Medium fine steel wool and soapy water will make those cranks look like new.

give it a good rub down with wet'n'dry sand paper p600, p800 then p1200 then buff up with autosol for a nice mirror finish

here they are on my RSP - mine are the 5 arm ones.

worst cranks i ever had the misfortune to use im afraid... extremely flexy, and made a lot of noise straight out of the box (as OEM on a full susser). Horrible.
