Twombolt / wombolt crank snap

[Glen]

Who was it that posted a video of their son snapping his cranks?  Please post a link to that video, if its still online!

Glen ,I think it was Betty's son 

[Betty]

It was my lad, i'll see if i can find the vid

[Betty]

Found it....







He nose dived the landing, but that shouldn't have snapped the cranks, and he got shrapnel from em in the face 

[Betty]

Did you get them replaced under warranty?

No Glen they were too old 

[Betty]

ah sucks.  On Profiles now?

Yeah... an old set of mine, bought him some used eclat tibias, good enough for Burns 

Never got round to fitting em, he's given up riding 

[pickle]

Given up??  That's sad 

[Betty]

Sad indeed.... he was pretty good n all

Still got the bike, it's on his bedroom wall dusty as fook 

I won't let him sell it

I ran a set of the original Oddy 4130 thermal cranks for ages, they're excellent. Shame that if they did ever break they would be replaced with Twombolts now. I'm not a fan.

I agree Glen, I like Eclat stuff generally. I have their pedals now - lovely things.

i got a new set of wombolts hanging on the wall,dont think if i ever rode them i would bust them but seen a few riders crack em.

[TwoBobRob]

Yup.

I hear the Twoms are better than the Woms, but they just don't float my boat.

"Two Piece Crank" just doesn't sound right

thats why they still hang on the wall after 2 years not ridden
