• After the whole crank arm came off during an Iron Man thanks to a shop mechanic doing something terribly wrong on the pre-race service a few years ago, I don't think he trusts anyone (with his bike).

    @Pifko I may be interested personally but won't have money for a while, but dad's definitely a buy-new kinda guy (slowly you lot can see why I have so much trouble getting him away from Mavic and Shimano?)

    I told him I referred to him as a Mamil after he turned his nose up at the DT's.

  • The cranks arm coming out is a pretty common incident from inexperienced mechanic (not tightening the crank bolt properly) unfortunately, but I can understand his reluctant.

    Shimano are fine, better value than Mavic IMHO.

    If he's serious about speed, point him to the direction of Zipp.
