Well, the cyclocross idea is on hold while I continue my swearing streak. Any suggestions for a stripped crank where the pedal threads in? It's on the tandem, the front cranks, timing (Left) side. Didn't know my own strength. Farking ***** a$$ FSA crapola pot metal buttery soft melted down Hyundai and VB beer cans aluminium! As I was saying, I'd like to know if there's an option other than ordering a new crank arm. And Saccy, if I can help you out with some tires from OS, let me know. I can have something picked up from Supergo and shipped within a week or so. Or if you have a particular brand in mind, let me know. No markup, just sharing the cost of my mounting postage bills.
Thanks all, I'm going back to swearing now.

Hey Expat, do you still have any of those 42mm tube type things? Apparently they will work with my rims, they are the min length stems. I though it was 48mm, but I guess I'm just a dumb schmuck who knows nothing.

)Maybe. Go to "edit options" in your "user control panel", and scroll
down to "thread display options", then tick the "show avatars" box.

I'll wear the baggy old Gong Ride shirt on Sunday. I should be able to fit five of the little suckers in without too many probs. Might need 3 elastic bands tho (to tie them together in pairs. Stops the ones on top jumping out!)
