Help, my crank is falling apart and i want to replace
Hi all,
I currently have an 07 Cannondale Synapse 2 (click here for more info). Unfortunately the Truvativ triple crank started coming apart at 350 miles. I had it replaced under warranty. Guess what? It's falling apart again. This time I want to replace it with an Ultegra double. I know i will have to change the front derailleur since it was a triple before. Do I need any other components? Will my bottom bracket be alright to use? Thanks in advance. |
Ok, so after further research i see that i will need cranks, new BB, new FD, and new BB cups?
It looks like the 105 shifters are compatible. Can someone confirm my beliefs? Shall i just get an Ultegra triple instead, so i dont need a new FD? |
Just curious...how does a crank fall apart?
|
...hmmm.
Is this like an 'I want a better crank' falling apart? Or is it disintegrating? Or did an arm snap? |
Its loosening off the spindle, the same way it happened last time. It's def. a crank problem though. The inner threads were wearing off last time. Either way, I'm not going to be satisfied till it's gone :).

Edit: Or is it one of those new-fangled bottom brackets that I have no experience with (and should keep quiet)? |
