Crank arm pedal thread broken

quentin_miller

Hello,

I was pedaling and the right pedal just dropped through, the thread on the crank was non-existant and looked really smooth so I could'nt put the pedal back in.

Do I need to buy a new crankset or is it possible to just get a right crank arm?

Thanks

go to a proper bike shop and they should be able to fix it for you with an insert.

I took it to my LBS, and they are going to put a new front crankset on (I think they are going to put a Shimano Alivio FC-M410 on)

what crankset did you break?
the Shimano thread inserts are a terrible fit, im scared mine will braek as i change between flats and SPD's quite often
