Bent Cranks On A KH20

Buy new cranks?
I think I'm going to buy new ones for my KH20, so I don't have my ankle
bleeding all over me. But I just ordered ankle guards, so if I bought
new cranks, the guards would be a waste.

I think it's possible to have them heated up and bent back then 'set' in
place again so you don't lose much strength. I don't know what I'm
talking about though. I bought new ones.

I think this problem extends to the axle and like parts.

This is worth checking out. The cranks are by and far the weakest part
(reletively). The hub does not normally twist.

I would not recommend heating and twisting them back as you will loose
some streingth as the steel is CrMO and you will be tempering it.

Thanks Roger. I think if it ever gets bad I'll try getting some new
cranks. Good to know it's probably that though. I thought it might be a
lot worse but I don't think I could do much damage to that hub.

Yeah a while ago I noticed my KH cranks were not sitting at 180 degrees
to each other but it turned out that they were just loose (even though
you couldn't feel it moving about).
