I have a Trek 850 I bought used and ride around L.A. Recently ...
you know what's coming ... the
left crank broke all the way through about 6 cm from the hub, as I was accelerating.
(Foot, pedal, and about 11 or 12 cm of crank hit the street. Got a cut on my leg but didn't fall.)
Was planning on replacing the left crank only. But after reading this thread -- THANKS, POSTERS
! --
will be trying to get the recall service.
