Davey Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 (edited) Ok, so it's taken over a week but my new cranks have finally arrived from Trialsshop.co.uk for my recently aquired T-Pro 2003!But, the muppets have sent me 2 drive side cranks, both have bashguard splines and freewheel thread (is it that hard to get right, seriously)!So anyway, I don't think this will make any difference but a friend seems to think it will/the might not fit! Is he going mad, because I figure if it fits on the drive side it'll fit on the non-drive side...... who's right?Davey Edited July 13, 2006 by Small_Gear_Big_Style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScotchDave Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 The pedal threads on the non drive are different, you either need 2 driveside pedals, or send back the cranks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamtrials Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 or send back the cranks. Thats easier said than done with trialsshop though...If I were you I'd get on a train and go ram the crank arm up Mark Anthonys useless ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he does that won't the left hand side pedal keep coming loose and he can't use a proper LHS pedal as that will cross thread.

Davey Posted July 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 I am now going to cry in the corner. They took over a week to arrive, and when I got my package I got all excited that I could finally get out on my 20incher.... and now it's probably gonna take another week AT LEAST to sort out!!I wnet to them because they had what I wanted cheaper than anyone else, and as it's just a mess about bike I don't wanna spend top dollar on it... but lesson learned, WILL NEVER GO BACK THERE AGAIN!!!Davey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to send them backYes and no, it should in theory, but in practice I know of at least one set of cranks which are being run the wrong way for opposite drive, and have been for years, and are fine don't come loose or anything.

Mark W Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Mine came out when I had to run 2 drive-side cranks Either way, you asked for a correct pair of cranks, and they f**ked up. Just get it sorted out with them Not least 'cos that way, if you come to sell those cranks you'll be able to get a decent price for them in future, as opposed to going "2 right-side cranks for sale" or whatever.

Davey Posted July 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Ok, I've called them and they asked if I was sure it wasn't right, hahaha!Anyway, they would replace it if I posted the set back first but that'd take forever so I have had to buy a left hand one off them to get them to post it out priority post today, and they will credit me back when they receive the incorrect right hand one back in the post (which I have sent via special delivery just now)!Hopefully they will credit me postage too!Case closed!Cheers folks!DaveyJust for you poopipe, I've changed the pic for a bit of variety for you Davey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe b Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 I think we've all learnt a very, very valuable lesson from this thread. Mark Anthony/TrialsShop are shit... To be honest, i would have rather bought some cranks for a bit more money from a more reliable shop. You'll just have to think about that next time, though... Cheers,Joe.

JT! Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 I would have sent both back and asked for a full refund plus the postage it costed you to to send them back.I think we should all send trials-shop a piece of out shit. Then he'd get a good 50 pieces of poo though his letter box.Anyone game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
