I am looking at a set of Sugino Super Mighty three piece cranks. I understand they are for road bikes, but will they work on a BMX bottom bracket?
Any idea when these were made? I have been trying to locate a gold set of three piece cranks appropriate for my GJS restoration, and these have the look I want.
Full Version: super mighty cranks
Steve,
Super Mighty Cranks are from the mid 1970s and came before the Mighty Compe Cranks. I don't think you'll find them in any color but Clear over aluminum. They were 144 BCD and use Mighty Compe, Campagnolo and other 144 BCD chainrings. They use a standard square taper spindle.
I have had a few sets of them in the recent past.

I've always thought they were the coolest looking of the Sugino cranks. They'd look rad in gold.

Why not just get Super Maxy cranks? They look almost the same, and they are available in colors
I'd go with super maxy cranks, but have had no luck in the past year finding an nos set in gold.

Because the Maxie cranks have a swedged spider and the Mightys are forged as one piece with the right arm mucho better
The Mighty Compes you could get with 110 BC. I had a set
I like the Mightys better I reckon - more Campy-looking with the 110 chainring.
Mightys have a 144 BCD
uh yeah - what he said
okay...i am ignorant.
What is BCD?

Tange/Tioga cranks tended to be 144 - Tourney, one-piece, Ultra Dyno, etc. and Shimano - DX, 600EX...
Suginos mostly 110 - Super Maxy, Maxy Cross, 400 series, one-pieces.
Pretty much fixed depending on what brand you bought.
ie. Sugino change rings will not fit most Takagi cranks and vice versa - hence the 'powerdisc' was born with both size holes for any brand chain ring.
Profile is actaully one of the only crank mfgs who offered both size spiders at the time.
Seems most people have the 110 versions though.

Man, and your a car guy too, tisk, tisk
Old Campagnolo, Zeus, Old Suntour Superbe, Galli, OMAS, Old Mavic, Ofmega, etc=144 BCD
Most Shimano "road racing" and BMX stuff=135 BCD
Anything "Touring" by Sugino or Sugino derived BMX=110 BCD
