A 20 mm or longer (M3) extension must be used between the RSH3-
1 / RSH3-2 and the crank centre to give the correct 'crank down'
distance
The crank centre may be mounted directly to the RSH3-3 / RSH3-4
or to an (M3) extension
This excludes the mass of the 20 mm extension
This excludes the mass of the 50 mm extension
This includes the crank down extension mass
