Mudsimus Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 My new cranks..no thread in the driveside arm...not nice!
SARA Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 wow. perhaps some new fancy enhanced technology. or you reckon they just forgot?
Guest Big H Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 This represents a bit of a problem, does it not.... bad Quality Assurance or a new type of threadless pedal!!!!?????
Mudsimus Posted February 24, 2007 Author Posted February 24, 2007 Forgot? Maybe the person in the production line that cuts the right hand side thread were on a toilet break. This is a serious inconvenience, just as I wanted to start my argus training! And after I GAVE away my previous cranks!
SARA Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 Ah MD! First rule of thumb do not get rid of old stuff before new stuff is in sticky little hand. ah well I hear one legged pedalling is very good for developing a smooth pedal stroke. ever tried it? actually quite scary when you do, you realise how much more power you could be getting out!
Mudsimus Posted February 24, 2007 Author Posted February 24, 2007 Actually I had the cranks for a while...only noticed the defect now. Will give the one legged pedalling a go...
TheLegend Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 mud dee, this calls for a manly "do it yourself" solution! go and get the pedal that's supposed to go in there, get the big wrench and turn the thread in yourself. no mercy, no stopping. do it without a shirt! shall i help?
TheLegend Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 (or go to someone to get the thread cut in - but then you don't have a story to tell to anyone looking at your new cranks)
Mudsimus Posted February 24, 2007 Author Posted February 24, 2007 I'll just give the suppliers some hell and get a new one..and I can do this with my shirt on!
Windbreaker Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 I'll just give the suppliers some hell and get a new one..and I can do this with my shirt on!... and if they give you any grief then take your shirt off!
TitusTi Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 Yes! and drink some beer before you go! It'll aid in the shirt removal! And make you appear to be more manly!
EdoardoBianchi Posted March 18, 2007 Posted March 18, 2007 Dude, keep us posted, I think there's some tech-wizz answer for this since it is one of the new torque-fit setups...
Mudsimus Posted March 19, 2007 Author Posted March 19, 2007 Thanks for reminding me! Forgot about this cranks! Geez..its time that I get back on the MTB...
Mudsimus Posted May 18, 2007 Author Posted May 18, 2007 And then there were thread... Thanx to fellow hubber!
Holeshot Posted May 18, 2007 Posted May 18, 2007 I guess this would be a good case for buying from the LBS as opposed to online?
Mudsimus Posted May 18, 2007 Author Posted May 18, 2007 These cranks came extra (along with a working set) in the box of a imported bike.
