	CYCLING PERFORMANCE TIPS - crank length (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Decisions on appropriate crank length are often steeped in mystique and considered part of the "art" of coaching for the competitive cyclists.
		Knee pain, especially chondromalacia, is often an indicator that your crank length is incorrect for you.
		It has been recommended that competitive cyclists use shorter cranks than the normally recommended to reduce the dead spot at the top of the cycle, from 9 to 12 o'clock (viewed from the rider facing to the right) and to allow a shorter stroke through the strongest leg movement.

		Whether you have a 250mm or 125mm crank (both non-existant), the distance gained by the bike is the same for one revolution of the crank.

		An older way of attaching the cranks to the bottom-bracket axle, by the use of cotters, wedge-shaped pins threaded on one end to accept a nut.
		A crank puller consists of a "nut" part which screws into the dust cap threads of the arm, and a "bolt" part that fits through the "nut" part and presses against the end of the bottom bracket spindle, so the "nut" part pulls the arm off.
		At a minimum, a "crank set" would consist of the two cranks, the chainwheel(s), and the stack bolts that hold the chainwheels to the cranks.

	Crank: The Working Man’s Drug (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Crank is the strongest form of amphetamine, a stimulant that has been around for a long time.
		The depression that follows quitting this drug, the difficulty in getting away from old using friends, the long task of learning to handle emotions and deal with work on its own terms is enough to send many cranksters back to their drug after a short try at staying straight.
		Fortunately, one of the side-effects of so many crank users having problems is that support groups of recovering addicts have many, many more cranksters in them than a few years ago.

	Call and Response - Crank Yankers and the quiet heroism of customer-service people. By Virginia Heffernan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The mid-'70s were indeed bliss for stalkers and crank callers: no answering machines, voicemail, or caller ID. Via the telephone, you could dip, anonymously, into the life of almost anyone whose number you had.
		There's a city setting, Yankerville, and a repertory cast of puppet crank callers called the Yankers, who teletorture a changing cast of puppet marks (who seem, based on the frequent nose-face mismatches, to be made from pieces of earlier marks).
		Silverman, like the best comics on Crank Yankers (Wanda Sykes, Kimmel himself), is tuned in to the fact that American accents may be less consistent than they were rendered in the golden age of mimicry, but their inconsistencies are themselves a source of humor.
