Why would anyone be surprised a frame would crack when the BB shell is hanging off the bottom?!   ::)

shredded BB.. the rest of the bearing is still stuck on the crank.. it failed in the middle of an nyc ride starting near midtown and it was cranked until it seized in time square.. good times!

Hi,
as we had a discussion about cranks in the other thread I know that you are interested in a alternative crank. Could you give us an idea of what you plan to do?
Sorry, I don't have a Fly/Suelo crank to sell.

Hey there,
Basically I decided there was no crank I was super happy with.
So I had planned to design a set of new cranks from the ground up as there are a few ideas which haven't been done yet. But basically to do such you need the backing of a large brand and factory.

So my next plan is to take a set of cranks and modify them.
The best crank that suits my need is the fly / suelo cranks as they have a good axle and best of all they are renowned for snapping and cracking. So building a new set of arms on a pair of cracked arms allows custom sizing. As well as allowing custom shaping .... While being able to use a stiffer 22mm axle.
