Crank question, Is this safe to use?
« on: July 12, 2010, 09:29 PM »
Stripped my race bike for a MK makeover and noticed what could be a crack in my Proline cranks where the pedal boss is welded.
Would you guys be happy riding on this?

Fook, I've been racing with it for nearly a year. No idea when the crack appeared. Could it be welded and then powdered?
Seems a shame to bin them.

ask Geth to see a pic of his calf when his Profiles let go in that spot, that would give you your answer

Weld it and get it Powdered :daumenhoch: 
I would ride it if the crack doesn't open up with your weight on it but it is your shins :uglystupid2:

its cracked for a reason, and thats because its pulling away there,   it could let go at any time, look at it as fate that you have seen it before you have eaten dirt...
R.I.P  O.M. Far short of the finish line...
