Default Turning crank?
How much is to much for a Callies Compstar crank??

I know people have different opinons but for those who do turn them... do you see any problems with turning the main journals 20?

I was able to save my crank but downfall was I had to turn it 20. Im not to excited about it but and may end up buying a new one. Just wanted to get some opinons on it to see what some people had to say about it.

Thanks!

Less surface area, I wouldn't worry about it.

.020 is just fine. It's a non-issue.

Are you sure that was a main journal and not a rod journal?
