I have had circa 20 sets of mangled mid range fsa and praxxis alba? Scrap box full of them. Saved all the chain rings for later though. Seems to be uniquely folk who haven't had a bike in ages, thought they would get something basic, none available so treated themselves to approx £900-1600 of commuter Cross disc /mudguard /11s goodnesss, then directly proceeded to completely fuck a £150 pair of cranks. Times by literally nearly two dozen occurrences over 12 weeks. Le sigh.
On the up side, thinking of getting a boat :p
BrickMan-
Yarp. It's gotten to the point where I'm not even sure how people fuck these things up so much. Are modern component so delicate or do people expect to be riding everything made of Iron? I've had an astonishing amount of fucked hangers and cranks.
I can't even argue about the hangers as we have to suck up the blame/cost regardless of how you approach situation, but cranks I simply point out the multiple 'assembly instructions' plastered all over their delivery box. -
Specialized eh?
Bloody Praxis chainrings are close to £200 quid RRP! You've got a goldmine!

If you need to move on a 48 ring, I’m keen. Upgrade wouldn’t sell me a 48/34 set so now I’m running 50/36 (as I had the 36 anyway)

Same story again today, 'Just sell me a mech hanger for a Carrera @©$|¥»»%<>, you have one RIGHT?
Me: Go to Halfords if you want one immediately, we special order them and it could take up to a week to arrive. You'll also have to bring in the bike so we can be sure of an exact fit.
'Just sell me one, you re a bike shop and you should have this in stock AND there's a 3 hours queue at Halfords'
Yes, we use Wheel Manufacturing too, some of the hangers have been out of stock for weeks!
Agreed too on the shambles of not following instructions, the left and right on pedals and the tighten this way on the cranks...
Most expensive one was for an Allez with Praxis cranks!
