He said he'll cut off the 'arms' and just put 4 back on in the right place? I mean if it's not 100% round doesn't matter ... we ride with oblong blades anyway😜 DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
117 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Yoh, that'll hurt if the welds let go But stupid question: Isnt it easier to just get a new 4 armed crank driver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaelbiker Posted March 26, 2022 Share Be careful with different alloys. Some are not weldable and may break under strain. https://www.thefabricator.com/thewelder/article/aluminumwelding/aluminum-workshop-why-isn-t-7075-weldable- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'other' pics I'm hoping not to have to post! I wouldn't go near to putting it on my bike....it would always keep me wondering when its gonna let go. Plenty of reasonably priced cranksets here. I bought a used Shimano 10sp crankset for my roadbike on the Hub about 10 years ago. Still going faultless. Some things shouldn't be done the backyard way and I think this is one of them.
