La Bourde Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 Hi,Today, I broke my right crank during a little setup hop.I don't know what happens, I felt the right pedal very soft, and then : Fortunately, I'm not injured.Bye, and don't forget to check your bike before riding !

mat hudson Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 those split links are thechnically the same strength as a regular linkso you should be ok. i snapped my chain on one though so maybe not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Bourde Posted November 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 (edited) get rid of the split link in the chain man!!You want your teeth knocking out or something...The chain is a KHE for street bmx riding (3/16"). The splint link came with and is very strong.I fear more my cog than this link.But thanks for your advice.The cranks are old FSA that came with old Koxx(levelboss and code).A crank is silver (right), the other is red !
