yes i see your point . But the cheapest rebuilt crank I can find in australia is $700au when you can buy the bearings for $200au is a big difference .
I have three spare cranks if i rebuild them I have a spare motor and crank for my race bike.
Some valid points here, from everyone. The thing is, not only can a trued NSR crank can make a hell of a difference, but if it fails in 40~50 miles like 2Smoke says, it can cause huge mechanical and financial woe!
Those rebuilding cranks have almost certainly gained their experience at the great expense of others... hopefully employers who have trained them and not customers!
As Paul says, it's one of those things you would be much better off sending to an expert who's already got the time, costs and experience behind them.
I'm a huge advocate of doing whatever you can yourself, but as Matt says on this one, the tools aren't expensive (although a dial guage can be), but the experience is invaluable.
