[QUOTE="2stroke, post: 290939, member: 25668"] thanks. Originally, the big end of the rod had seized on the crank, thats why I had to get it rebuilt. Both ends are wobbling, but I dont see how anything was bent, so I guess its out of round. Looking at it in my hand, I cant tell anything is wrong. Even tried measuring it with a ruler. But mounted in the cases its obvious. Its noticeable simply by looking at the shaft, either end, while spinning. The bearings are seated all the way in the cases as well. Im going to see if the guy I had build it can do anyhting with it. Im not really sure about his operation, he was recommended by a friend, who took it over and picked it up for me as well, because he was getting some work done as well. I am going to visit this guy personally tommorrow if I can, and see what kind of equipment he really has. (I have removed the crank already.) I guess, worst case, Ill take it into another shop, and just have them "balance" it. I gonna call "cycle world" tommorrow and see how much that would run me. Cycle world is one of the larger shops in the Baltimore area, and I called them originally about rebuilding the crank, but their price was REALLY high. ($200) The guy on the phone at CW told me the reason it was so high was of the time taken in balancing it, and how important that was. This guy I had do it was half their price. I HOPE this doesnt turn into a case of you get what you pay for, but I dont think I am unreasonable to exepct that if I pay someone $100 to balance a crank, that it should spin true. So Im gonna give this guy a chance to make it right, unless CW can balance it for cheap. [/QUOTE]
