This actually had me thinking a lot. So when you install the vargas solution, does it make opposing receiving grooves when you press it in or is it just against the smooth shaft? I did google splines and the first quote i saw was:
“ Splines are ridges or teeth[1][2][3] on a drive shaft that mesh with grooves in a mating piece and transfer torque to it, maintaining the angular correspondence between them.
For instance, a gear mounted on a shaft might use a male spline on the shaft that matches the female spline on the gear. ”
How is the VTT solution mated to the crank shaft? Does the male VTT crank hub being pressed inside the shaft cause it to make a female receiving splines. I hope that makes sense. If so, does that Somehow weaken the input shaft?
If not, then This solution with the CBC really does sound like it would take care of the issue.
