MagnusT Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Did you damage just the pedal or the crank aswell? If the crank is ok you can buy any platform or caged pedal that you like just decide on how much you like to spend. Now I use DMR V8 because they where on the bike i bought, not brilliant bearings, not the lightest but good grip and ok price... I have used expedo, alot fancier but also much more expensive... have a look at www.tartybikes.co.uk/platform_pedals/c23.html www.chainreactioncycles.com/Categories.aspx?CategoryID=209&SortBy=SalesRank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kwizera Simon Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 Is it the right or left crank arm? If it is the left then buy a new one from Tartybikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bike_dummie Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 yes, that is what goes inside as a replacement thread also it will be stonger than the first thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke172 Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 Just had a helicoil done on my crank arm by tarty bikes. Excellent job and only cost £15 with the return postage 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss-Higgy Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 Buy some decent cranks then when you get a better bike you already have the cranks... Middleburns are the ones you want but the are others out there that are good and better value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
