monkeyseemonkeydo Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 That's a really wierd place for a crank to break... it must've been cracked for a good while to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Scarlet Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 (edited) Oh dear, mine look a hell of a lot more battered than those, so now I'm worried.I think Santa's elves need to learn CNC machineing(sp?) for me this year.

Greetings Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Yeah, they're pretty weak cranks. The weight is good though so I guess it's good for comps and only comps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 To be fair, I've ridden Monty cranks for probably 5 or 6 years and have never bent or broken a single one... Only problem I ever had was stripping the thread so I couldn't use a crank extractor on an arm once. And I'm not exactly the smoothest rider and I regularly go pretty big.
