That crank looks like it was tempered and/or hardened wrong. All of the
broken cranks I've seen have either banana'd (stretched) or cracked at
the top. That steel compressed at the bottom, which indicates that it
was not hard enough. If it had been, it probably would have cracked on
the side that was up during the jump, and then had a little bit left on
the bottom holding it together. That's what's happened to all 4 of the
profile cranks I've seen severly bent. Than again, I could be
completely wrong.

I've bent pedals, but I didn't notice until the bearings dissolved and
the body fell off the spindle. I'll take a bent pedal over a shattered
cage or no bearings any day.

so i was looking at my uni to see what all is wrong with it currently,
and the crank isn't bent, but it has slipped forwards.. so when you
look at it from the side instead of seeing the cranks make a straight
line with each other they are like a slight V its only forwards a
couple of degrees...but it is noticable..am i screwed?

i am hoping that its just the crank, and that its not sliding forward
on the hub axel thing.(as you can tell i dont know much about the
technical aspect of unicycling)

Youll be fine, just take a crank off and move it a spline in the other
direction.

Gerbal: Do you think there's any chance I can get some kind of warentee
if it infact wasent hardened.

I seriously doubt it, which was part of why I offered the discalimer I
did. I didn't want to come off as someone who could judge whether or
not it was a manufacturing defect.

Tests you could do: Can you hacksaw through the crank? If you can, it's
probably much too soft. I'd try to hacksaw a part of the crank that
doesn't appear to be bent (like near the pedal) to avoid issues of work
hardening. Can you file metal off of the crank, or does the file just
slip without cutting. If so, it was well hardened. Does a ball-peen
hammer, when hitting the crank, leave any depression?

I still doubt you can warranty the crank. maybe you should talk to
Kris. You could always ask someone with a broken profile crank to do
the file test on the crank. If profiles are soft, my whole theory is
wrong.

thanks for the advice.

i have just a crappy torker that i have been riding for about 2 1/2
years.
i think its life is coming to an end rather quickly. it has so much
wrong with it..the part that the seatpost goes into is bent.
it has held up pretty well though, i have given it a pretty good
beating.
i just have a little bit more saving to do until i can afford my new
uni.
