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?

Nope, not of you like your shins un-mincedmeated.....

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

That would be a no for me, too much like a hospital visit if you ask me

Weld it and get it Powdered

I would ride it if the crack doesn't open up with your weight on it but it is your shins

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...
