I had a free drive side replacement sent. The cranks are in direct drive in the lowest gear. Which is what I stay in when loaded. So they'll be fine. I think I fecked up the installation TBH. Not completly holding the cable in tension, on installation of the driveside (stage 11). It felt different the second time.
I cant recomend the drivetrain enough. The smooth continuous adjustment of gain ratio, when navigating hills while loaded is such a huge plus. The patterson cranks work flawlessly too. I think I may want a smaller rear cog. My lowest gear is stupidly low, and I spend a lot of time in the highest gear when unloaded on the flat.
