Anyone ever bent a crank and pedal at the same time?

I think I've bent my crank and pedal axle in one stupid crash. Has this happened to anyone?

If I run the pedal on another crank, it's not that wobbly; if I run the crank with another pedal it's not that wobbly -- together it's pretty wobbly.

On another note, does kona supply spare axles for wah wah pedals? The rebuild kit only includes bearings and such.

Yes. Get ready to front for a set of cranks and pedals. Oh, and keep your ass upright.

If you hit your head one more time, it's velcro shoes ALL the time.

If there's one thing I've learned (learnt?) through all my breakages and what-nots, it is that I always seem to find new ways to f*ck sh*t up.

You are harsh! From what I saw from that criminally underrated thread in the ride section he did alright. Mind you I'm sure you could have cut washers off his arse on a few of those uphill sections. That would have outright killed me though to be fair.

Geez. I gotta do 10 minutes worth of work and look what happens. Can we get back to talking about fat kids on bikes or do we all need to get a room?

It was a purely platonic wish to spend some quality time partaking in the finest ales the mid upper western states have to offer. I may ride one bike on a short section before pulling a heart muscle and having to retire to the beer tent.
