So, I have a few questions for the experts on here...
1. What's the deal with bottom brackets and CBR/Cooks/CQP cranks again? A specific sort, or length of spindle? And can those be purchased and threaded through any other bottom bracket, or is it that a specific bottom bracket is needed to run Cooks/CQP cranks, and if so, which ones?
Sorry, I know all this info is on here in countless other places already, but I had a quick search and it didn't throw anything up immediately that broke it down for me succinctly.
2. I have the CBR/COOKS/CQP timeline/story correct in my mind (I believe). But what's the deal with Matrix? I saw those Cooks-esque cranks posted in the for sale thread a while back. Did Cooks make these for Matrix? Was Matrix actually Cooks? What exactly was it if it wasn't? What else did they make?!
All and any info regarding the above greatly appreciated.
