what are these new dual pinch flight cranks like?
« on: June 18, 2006, 10:13 PM »
are they any use and if not can someone recommend strong cranks for an old school rider  , i just bent the crap out of a set of takagi tourney 3pc first time out (jumping a set of 4 foot steps) the non drive side is bent a real pisser cause i spent hours stripping and polishing them also is there any way of straightening them i was thinking of taking the pedals off the spindle and sliding a metal bar over the spndle  and trying to bend them back , do you think id be better off with a 1 pc and just replace it when it gets twanged

as for the bent crank arm,it may crack on the rebend

make it into a paperweight :LolLolLolLol: thats quite unique i do believe :angel:

alloy is no good once bent. if you bend it back it will have been sressed twice and you will end up biting the tarmac at  some point.

flights are chromo, so will be a lot better and flex less too.

i personally prefer the redline prolines as they are nearer to the original in my opinion.
