Do Moments strip easily?
Any product will be ruined by incompetence. When tightening bolts and pedals, go slow and don't use excessive strength. If you have to use force to get anywhere, chances are that something is wrong and you should stop. Use quality tools and fresh Allen keys. Maintain your cranks by checking for looseness before every ride and grease them occasionally. There is no excuse (besides having a defect) to ruin a crank. Some are more susceptible, so be more careful. To answer your question, moments will strip easily in the care of a moron who cross threads, etc. They will last ages for someone who knows his stuff. -- Danni ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Danni's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/12990 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/75127 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Danni, If I do these things, I should be good, right? 1. Make sure right pedal is on right crank, left on left. 2. Make sure frame and seat are pointing the right way. (So I'm not riding backwards all the time) 3. Don't overtighten them. When it's hard to go any farther, your good. 4. Unscrew them and grease them every few months. Anything else. -- hungry4uni ŤŔϊãĻş ЦИΪĈҰĆĻέ my sponsor' SixSixOne' (http://www.sixsixone.com) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ hungry4uni's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/16147 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/75127 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

The grease in pedal threads is there to lube the threads during installation, and to fill the space to exclude water. Don't remove your pedal unless you need to. Every time you tighten and loosen threads, there is some stress on the metal. Even the best metal fails if you keep tightening and loosening the threads enough times. To install a pedal in a moment crank, grease the treads (my KH 20 came with the pedals separate, and a dab of grease in the crank's pedal threads) , put the pedals in good and tight, then leave them there until you really need to remove them. Parts deform together when you tighten them, and if greased before assembly, should be left alone. -- feel the light ------------------------------------------------------------------------ feel the light's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/14551 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/75127 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |
