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.

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
