trialsiain Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 hey this is kind of stupid, but when my friends have a go on my bike they say the left crank feels really bent when riding it but i don't notice it cause i guess im used to it. But would it not be extremely hard to bend a crank arm ? could it be something else like pedals or bb. Im using titainium echo bb, tryall isis cranks and echo tr pedals. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 bent pedal axles are fairly common, you could try some other pedals (maybe swap with a friend) and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezmtber Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 Probblaly try swoping pedals with someone would be the 1st thing I would do if the problem goes with the pedals then its a pedal axle. If not then try swoping cranks to check there straight. I woulnt expect a ti bb axle to bend but it could have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostrider88 Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 Funny thing is, your friend could be the one with bent axle, so let someone else to ride your bike too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradJohnson Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 It's quite normal for someone foreign to your bike to feel like some of the components to feel dodgy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is possible, but if you aren´t very heavy and go rather big it´s not likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
