Crank Repairs and Modifications
Pedal Thread Repairs
If you have stripped, damaged and crooked pedal threads these can usually be repaired by installing a new thread insert. We then mill the surrounding area to ensure a perfect pedal fit.
We can repair the pedal thread on carbon cranks if the original metal insert is still bonded to the carbon.
Unlike some of our competitors, we ensure the accuracy of the new thread using a precision milling machine and custom made jigs.
Crank Shortening
Please see the crank shortening page for details.
Tandem Cranks
Send us your standard cranks (2 right-hand ones and 1 left-hand one). We will reverse-thread them to turn them into tandem crossover cranks. We can also shorten them at the same time at no extra cost.
Other modifications
Please contact Patrick to discuss any other modifications you may require.
Note: we don’t straighten bent cranks or repair damaged bottom-bracket tapers.
Your guarantee
If we have doubts about the suitability of your cranks, we will contact you before proceeding. All work is carried out on special jigs and remains true to the bottom-bracket axle (even if your crank is bent)
Note
We won’t work on your cranks unless you accept our terms and conditions.
