if you don't have the washer between the pedal and the crank situated
right, the pedals will come loose, it took me a few trys to get the
washer in a position where the pedals didn't come loose

those cranks/pedals need washers because the pedals are not directly
screwed in the cranks:
there is a steel part with the thread wich is situated at the inner side
of the crank so that when you screw the pedals on them the crank gets
"locked" between the steel part and the pedal. actually you absolutely
have to put the washers between the pedal and the crank or you will
grind the hole in the crank so badly that you will never be able to
tighten the pedal enough. those washers are not a quick fix, they are
meant to be there.

ok Zzagg.

a picture still would be good here. what is the benefit of this style of
pedal mounting? i mean, once its set up right is it stronger or
somthing? why the extra steel inserts and washers instead of just
threads like most all cranx?

Sorry for the pics... gonna try and find some.
I don't really know why they made this way but I think thread in the
steel inserts is more resistant than the thread of the classic alloy
cranks. this is supposed to bare more pedal changes (IMO)...
But the problem remains the same: if you ride with loose pedals the
crank threading will be destroyed, with the Koxx One system the hole in
the crank will be completely grinded, and maybe ovalized. I think that
it's cool to try new concepts but in that case I'm quite sceptic.
I have that problem with my Devil wich was a pre-sale version for
testing purpose. Yoggi told me that the crank/pedal problem would be
solved, but with this way of screwing pedals, cranks have to be PERFECT
when leaving the factory (it should always be the case indeed).
On the french forum I've heard of someone finding an issue to the
problem...
I switch my language and try to find more

Only with the ISIS splined version. square tapered ones have standard
cranks.

Hey, these cranks are made of aluminum! If u screw a pedal in a tread of
an aluminum crank, the aluminum thread will damage very soon, because
steel is harder than aluminum. So they put Have this steel thing to
screw the pedal in.

I do not have a pic
