JT! Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 (edited) Just got them on... :) It was quite ironic really as i was saying I shouldn't need to do anything to my bike for a while now. Didn't touch wood though. :lol: There is a smooth bit on both the cross section area where they broke. I thought it could have been and air bubble while they were been made, therefor a manufactor defect. But aparetly it's just where it's slowly cracked and rubbed to make it smooth befir completely cracking. ^_^ Lets hope i can get a free re-placement from SuperCycles ey.

JT! Posted July 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 (edited) Holy shit man :- Where you doing anything mad or not when it happened? Nice pedals btw :lol: (Y)" :P ← No, never. The biggest thing i have ever done was a 5 and a half foot drop. :) At the time i just droped about, what, 1 foot. i hope they give you a new pair,look in pretty goodcondition apart from the snap in the pic dont see why you wont have a new pair ^_^ ← Me too. I haven't got the recipit, and i think i have had them for over a year. So it dosn't look good (Y) . Worst comes to worse, i'll try and buy just the one. Edited July 8, 2005 by JT!

Joe Papasnap Maher Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 what pedals are they?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 If you're not a dick (not saying you are, but people seem to go a bit gung-ho at warranty attempts :lol:), they might be OK. They do look in good con., so they might be cool with it... Bit sketch seeing as I've got the X-Pedal/Tensile combo too... Just out of curiosity, were you at the DJ ride? EDIT: If it's over a year, they've got a 2-year crash replacement warranty, so try blagging a new single arm? Or go for a fresh pair. Half price = £50-ish, which ain't bad :) EDIT #2: Try and blag some DMR Terror-pins. Put them in the middle holes (by the pedal spindle), and they stick up a teensy bit more than the standard X-Pedal ones. I don't know about you, but mine stuck up barely 1mm or so above the pedal body, meaning they were, in effect, not so good. I basically have the Terrors on one side of mine, and the standards on my "Bashing" side of my pedal. You do actually learn which side to use, and I can feel which side I'm on just through my feet now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si-man Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 (edited) They should do a crash replacement on them, or do what you said and buy the replacement arm for it. *all tensile owners run to check cranks :)" * How many is it that have snapped now then? Azonic X pedals I think they are called Edited July 8, 2005 by merlin_rider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted July 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 (edited) Just out of curiosity, were you at the DJ ride? ← Nah, I wasn't. Way too far, and no way of getting down. Had my tee on all day though to make up for it. :) Azonic X Pedals Joe. Very nice. :lol:" I am hoping i can get a free crank arm really, that would be the ideal solution. Then I wouldn't have to faff taking the freewheel off etc... Edited July 8, 2005 by JT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully not cracks. However, for cracks to get worse you have to put stress on them by actually riding your bike, so it looks like I'm covered there :)" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
