Hi guys the pedal insert on my drive side crank has came loose. The cranks are K force carbon ones, from about 2006 ish. Dont know the exact date cos i bought them used.
I bonded the insert in using araldite and it seemed pretty strong but after a couple of days riding its loose again.
Anyone have any tips for fixing these? I guess i would have no warranty as i dont have the reciept?

take it to an engineer and see what they can do.
But I would replace."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

was quite comon witht he older fsa carbon cranks,
if you clean it up properly you may be able to get it epoxied back in, bit stronger than araldite, but may wel do the same again, (if youve a boat builder or the like close by they normally have epoxy on the go,)Timmo.
