Sammmmy Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 (edited) hey guys,so today I went riding, dropped of something like 150 cm high and my crank just totally snapped. I was lucky, didn't hurt my ankle and wasn't really doing a big drop when it broke. Problem is, what the hell is the cheapest (and fastest) way to solve the problem. I'm really like superlow on cash.. Here's a pic for you crank..couldn't get it directly on, sorry.Life sucks when you're poor Edited November 19, 2006 by Sammmmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoyoyo Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 SupercyclesHave a look on there. They sell single mod cranks on the second page for about £20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammmmy Posted November 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 mmh ok but, isn't there anything closer to belgium?And another concern of mine, will the other crank brake soon also? or are left cranks much less infected by this..Thanks, Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PEACHY Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 Go on tartybikes.com its pretty cheap postage and just buy crank arms u wont need a new bottom braket and get the cheapest ones you can find and u get them in piars unless it says not in pairs and replace your broken one aswel just to be safe becase it is likely to snap if your other one has. peachy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Perkins Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 I would just buy some new cranks, to save therm doing it again. I would go for some Echo forged cranks from TartyBikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammmmy Posted November 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 cool, thanks man. One quicky, how do I know what size my cranks are? :$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 Those cranks are 158mm in length. - Damn short!If you get new cranks, you'd need to change your gear ratio too!They have a fixed (non-removable) 24t fixed sprocket/chainring on, and I guess you have a 16t rear freewheel?I used to have that set-up back in the day. Pretty much all the cranks on Tartybikes or anywhere, are front freewheel cranks. Especially for mod bikes.You'd need to get a 12t fixed sprocket for the rear - meaning getting the freewheel off. - HARD!And then an 18t front freewheel. - Tensile?Depends on how much you have/want to spend.If not, Cleanbikes sell the cranks you have. Click Here, second one down.I'm sure they'd be able to send it to Belguim too. Just e-mail them and ask! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
