even more bent profiles

Hey everyone
i was riding yesterday and after rolling hop a 9 set a few times i
started to notice alot more ankle rotation as i pedaled. i got off to be
greeted by profiles that now look like they were put on the wrong
splines (ie not opposite each other).
There is also a crack near the axle, with a corresponding fold.
Would the profile lifetime warranty apply here or do i have to snap the
*******s?
Mark

Since the crank has cracked I think you'll qualify for warranty
replacement. With them already cracked it would be easy to completely
break them by doing a drop, even small drops would break them at this
point. If they need to be completely broken to qualify for the warranty
that will be easy to do.

If you got the cranks from UDC just contact UDC and they'll handle the
warranty issues and the replacement.

what sucks is since your in AU your going to have to pay shipping both
ways most likely...

upgrade to the larger Profile "dirt jumper" cranks or just bag it and
test the KH ones.

do you think that i could trade my busted 170's for some 165's in the
warranty? or do they insist on giving you the same length.
Must get to my bike shop and sort this out before it snaps completely
and then have no unicycle to ride hard

I warrentied my bent profiles and they let me get a different size, but
they would not let me upgrade to the Dirt Jumpers.

They were real easy to deal with.

Did you bend both cranks or just one?
If only one crank is damaged you're probably only going to get that one
crank replaced under warranty.

I think I remember hearing that it's only the hub (which you're not
likely to ever have troubles with) that is not covered, and the axle is.
Not sure though. Searching some old threads could tell you for sure
though.
