Crank Bros Pedal Spindle Failure
A reader who doesn't wish to be named sent me an email with this
image. What is shown here is apparently a right side Crank Brothers Candy 'C' pedal that failed on an indoor Revmaster stationary bike. Good for him it was indoors, and the fact that the bike is built with safety features for holding onto something when falling in embarrassment. More analysis here. http://bit.ly/dn9PnJ -Ron |

More analysis here.http://bit.ly/dn9PnJ I've broken a couple pedal spindles. No horrific crashes -- just a crapy ride home on one leg. This is probably a machining defect because if the ridge created a stress riser and a defect in the entire model line, you would expect to be seeing a lot more failures. Considering that these pedals are popular in the we-eat-equipment-for- lunch mountain bike community and seem to be holding up well, I would suspect a one-off problem.-- Jay Beattie. |
