Rockman Posted December 25, 2010 Report Share Posted December 25, 2010 Took my old pedal out my crank (which has been helicoiled) the heli coil basically fell apart when I unscrewed my pedal should I get it re-helicoiled or will it be better buyin new cranks such as the Rockman Lites, at the minute I have Echo TR cranks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted December 25, 2010 Report Share Posted December 25, 2010 Could try re-helicoiling it, if it works then great if not get some new uns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockman Posted December 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2010 Could try re-helicoiling it, if it works then great if not get some new uns. okay I'm not sure though, my mum said she would pay partly for new cranks =/ and if the helicoil is just going to fall apart everytime I take the pedal out, its just gonna be a B***H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam T Posted December 25, 2010 Report Share Posted December 25, 2010 As said try the helicoil, if not then treat yourself to some new ones. Personally I wouldn't buy the rockman ones, someone one on here cracked a pair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're the same as try-alls which are pretty much the favorite ffw crank. I've cracked a crank and stripped the ffw thread on one too, but they still seem to offer a good price/weight/strength ratio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.Wood Posted December 25, 2010 Report Share Posted December 25, 2010 Try-Alls... I say they're the same, they're not identical but are very similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali C Posted December 25, 2010 Report Share Posted December 25, 2010 just screw a new helicoil piece in (no tools needed) but use some red loctite to keep in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
