Kieran Morrison Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Have had echo pedals and echo cranks since last September, have never come loose until tonight. Didn't notice they were loose until it was too late, got home and the threads in my crank have been ruined. They've been tight constantly since I got them, so why have they come loose now? And is warranty on them out of the question? Is it possible to have them tapped? I've barely ridden them all winter and don't think I should have to go and buy new cranks considering I haven't actually done anything to cause them to loosen.

Carlperkins Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 helicoil them? wont one of the helicoils be backwards? or can you get reverse helicoils? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieran Morrison Posted March 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 helicoil them? wont one of the helicoils be backwards? or can you get reverse helicoils? Yeah I was thinking that as it's the reverse-thread crank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidbarr Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Send it to tartys to get helicoiled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onza pro series guy Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Try puttting the pedal in the wrong side of the crank, sometimes it can carve a new thread in the soft ally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he stripped only right crank,this wouldn´t be a problem If he did strip both,then he can do the right crank himself and send the left one to tarty bikes...
