Thank you and you are welcome!
I will try to get to the 45 degree number.....coupler is made and it
has 20 teeth and 6 bolts so some combination of those should result
in 42 degrees........or so. One bolt - one tooth...
or 60 degrees minus 18 degrees. Dang!!! My head hurts already.......
What can I do with my data logger to see how much the rear crank is twisting?
