Although i don't fully disagree with this the manufacture has the duty to produce something fit for the purpose intended and the retailer is just as responsible to fully understand the product before putting it on sale.
if companies like Trialtech can do it why can't others? Racingline as just looking for a quick profit.
Is it really acceptable that the testing in being carried out by the customer?
at quote from your site: making the Hashtag sound strong…. why doesn't the description highlight the 'light cranks might snap'?
Fully CNC machined cranks feature large cutouts from the rear faces, saving lots of weight while still ensuring good strength and stiffness.
- Just 3.3% heavier than the lightest standard setup currently available, whilst being stiffer
as for the Hashtag freewheel i don't think its sorted yet, i would personally suggest to get the Crewkerz BB30 cranks and the newer freewheel which seems great so far (fully black in colour)
