My SRAM Omnium crank snapped on Friday (see pics attached). I wasn't even going for it, just gently ascending a small hill. This is the second time Omniums have snapped on me and I suffered some injuries to my hand. I was literally one second away from being involved in a collision with a van which probably would have inflicted a life changing injury to me at best.
I am now giving up on Omniums, they are not fit for purpose in the slightest. Can anyone recommend a different type of fixed wheel crank that will not crack so easily and significantly endanger life?
So have Sram; they aren't being made any more.
I've done many miles on Dura Ace and Sugino 75 without issue but then so have many people on Omniums....
