Need to regrind crank

but then you'll need thicker shells surely???

thats the crank size

if you regrind the crank you go for a thcviker shell than std, usually 0.25mm, depending on how bad the damage is, suppliers that supply std size cranks usually offer over sized ones, your machine shop where the work is being done on the crank should have a decent supplier or two

Thats where the problem is there suppliers dont do any over sized ones

You can buy oversized one ring round places who regrind cranks or tunners they'll be be able to get hold of them.

problem is none of these aftermarket bearings are 'tough'.

You can grind the crank to size where your running circa 1.5 thou rather than 2-2.2.
