  2. 'AAAAAAAAA!' (http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/AAAAAAAAA%21) it sounds like
    you didn't tighten your hub enough, so your cranks started moving and
    slowly but surely you stripeed them, or the hub, or both. and no,
    those are not for trials riding. no square taper hubs or cranks are for
    trials riding. splined is what you need for trials.

  4. You probably have the pedals on the wrong cranks.

    Not possible. the peadles have reverse thread on the left side and
    normal on the right side. It would be impossible to screw a left pedal
    into a right crank.

    the wheelset is on backwards.
    its not that crazy or stupid.
    get some epoxy, plastic epoxy works well, or just whatever stuff you
    can find that has an insanely high strength rating

    i epoxied my little brother's pedal in his uni
    it stayed
    its awwwesome!

    but anyways, you can tap out a set screw, epoxy, jb weld, whatever you
    come up w/ to fix it, keep in mind that a set screw will weaken it A
    LOT
    but yeah
    don't be stupid, the left crank stays on the left side, and the right
    on the right side, its like that for a reason.
    i think thats all i have to say.

    ohh
    loctite works wonders 🙂

    uhemm
    you could put 2 left/2 right cranks on and mismatch pedals(THAT IS HOW
    YOU SPELL IT) then JB weld or loctite them in.

  10. ya thatx fore all the help gies I went down and took the crank off and
    it was starting to strip so I hit it on with a hammer and tightened the
    bolt on as tight as I could it seems to be better I just thought it
    could have been the pettle cuss ive striped 1 before
