if all you did was take some of the coating off the crank then your
fine. (do people really need to mention that someone should upgrade to
khm's)

I think you need to better explain your problem.


You're talking about the threads where the crank attaches to the axle,
that you use with a crank puller right?

no, i think he's talking where the pedal screws in, if so, it shouldn't
be too much of a problem as long as the wheel is on straight and
everything...

what kind of uni do you ride?
KH cranks might not even fit on it.

I can tell by the description of how "threads were left on the pedal ".

So we have an alum crank, with only 1/3 the pedal threads gone ! The
crank is 2/3 's good ! LOL

Really, I think that the remaining threads are full of cracks and ready
to go as well, what was so special about that first 1/3 that broke
?

Perhaps another pedal can be reinserted with JB Weld (epoxy goo), and
might go years in mild street use. I have seen it happen.

But as a "pedal snapper", only new cranks will work for you .

If you keep everything tight there's no worry

I stripped one O off my DX crank a while back, I put the pedal back in
but every day I have to retighten it, worry about it on every drop I
take, and it's never as tight as it could be.

And that's' only half as bad as yours, TECHNICALLY it still works, but
It'd really be better to have a better crank. You got lucky 'cause ISIS
cranks are abundant, 10 spline cranks aren't.

The threads of the KH cranks are much more durable. Its going to be -a
lot- more difficult to strip those. The cranks you have have alloy
threads. The KH cranks have CrMO steel inserts, much more durable.
