Alley Rat Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 looking at that i'd go for another make, like raceface Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanC Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 Hopefully that didn't result in an injury. I've seen a few of those failures before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harmertrials Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 (edited) you don't want raceface for trials, if you want some decent trials cranks that will last a lifetime buy some middleburns ( or kindly ask chris king to develop some haha) Edited March 24, 2007 by harmertrials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Token Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 If they're only a month old, then surely it shouldn't be a case of getting a half price replacement. It should be a totally free set as it looks like a manufacturing defect for them to break that early in their life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr joe Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 I've hade my tensiles for a good year and there has been no sign of them breaking soon. I say they were a default Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 Hope they just replace them for free, there must have been something wrong with the cranks if they snapped after 1 month.

RobinJI Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 (edited) you don't want raceface for trialsGot a reason? The old 5 arm ones are awesome for trials. And as mentioned, have a lifetime warentey for trials use on the northshore XS. And there only 50 quid. LinkAlso no-one uses them for trials? Shrewsbery? Ashton?

Token Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 i know there not, i also hav'nt heard of a raceface crank breaking, have you??Go to Chain Reaction Cycles and read the review on the 209.99quid set of Raceface Diabolus it goes like this:Anonymous from United Kingdom Owner 15 March 2005 22:54 I cant believe it, i thought i was getting a good quality peice of kit for all the money i forked out. They bent after a 7foot to flat, i had cheap bmx cranks that have happily took the abuse. Im just going to get bmx cranks in the future, i feel so ripped off.Stop bumming raceface, they are over-marketed and over-rated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harmertrials Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 i dont make vague statements, they still have a lifetime warrenty and thats what i was talking aboutyou have still got the wrong idea, he should get another set of tensiles rather than some dodgy raceface cranks, or get some middleburns.

Alley Rat Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 well so far 2 people on this thread have had tensiles and they've both broken, the diabolous from raceface has bent, but hit any piece of metal hard enough its gonna bendraceface for the win thensee the conclusion??
