Big_oll Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Hi guys,i've just started riding again after about a year and a half out! Luckily i didn't sell my steed, i knew i'd want to ride it again one day!Just before i stopped riding i decided to buy some tensiles as at the time everyone had them, so i guessed they must be pretty good! I bought the uci bash and a screw on cog awell.Anyway, to my point, riding around the other day and the threads that hold my cog on decide to strip!!!Since coming back on the forum i've realised nobody uses them anymore??? What happened to tensile cranks???Do they do any sort of manufacturers fault warrenty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_ Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 They snap quite alot...Think you can get half price replacment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Do you run a bash and cog? on ealier tensiles they where only ment for a cog or freewheel with no bash and when people used bashes and cog the cog didnt have enough thread and striped. tensile decided to then put spline thing on for the bash to slot on to and then extending the threads.

Mike Poyzer @ Onza Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 As someone else said, if it wasn't the new type designed to take a splined bash, the bash would leave too little thread and you will strip them. Half price policy still operates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liam-pantera Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 if it is the newer version ( urban legends 2007 ) then there is a possibility that you wernt suplied a spacer to sit between the cog and the basguard , i received one with my urban legends and they have been pritty damn good and ive had them a year and a half .
