gr8grumble Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 hi, ive jus recently bought some echo cranks 6061's and ive heard that the thread to hold the freewheel rounds off, is this true? i could send them back and i have £40 and could buy the expensive better crank! do you think this would be a better solution? instead of getting cranks that may easily brakeand waste £50 ? help and opinions need please... thanksgraham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_ Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 (edited) I have seen lots of people with the forged echo cranks. I think they will be fine aslong as you're not a super hard rider. On the 06 echo forged cranks isnt the thread CNC'ed so that it doesnt strip as easily?tom Edited September 5, 2006 by tom132 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
