No. See, I'm the bird on the left trying to get the bird on the right to shut it!

I ride pake cranks cause I'm broke all the time, I'm a big guy 6'2" 200lbs~ and I don't have any problems with them... pretty sure no one cares though.

In conclusion, I wouldn't worry.

thank you for such a straightforward answer, i appreciate it.

You should probably state details like that in the OP. It's pretty crucial information. As for that humble pie, I was simply stating that our OP does not have very much knowledge about bikes (I still stand by this assumption). I never said anything about whether he needed new cranks or not b/c the_don and yourself were already discussing that.

He said he needed to replace the crankset. Isn't that enough info for you?

My advice is: assume people know what they are doing. That's all.

wroomwroomoops, you don't have to dominate this. It's OK for people to disagree sometimes.

Let's talk pizza.

We had great home made pizzas the other night. Lebanese bread for the base. Bit of tomato paste. A sprinkle of tasty cheese (unless you're my son then the 'sprinkle' resembles an avalanche). Then go stupid with the toppings. Mine suffered peperoni, pineapple cut straight from the fruit (non of this canned stuff), capsicum and some corn kernals. Luverly. So I went back for more, only different.

I can recommend the Lebanese bread (flat bread) for the base in that it works well and involves none of the mucking about of making a proper dough base ... though it doesn't taste quiiiiiiiite as nice as the real thing.

That sounds downright delish.

I had crappy delivery pizza last night. Still regretting it. Ill have to try that fresh pineapple thing. Maybe next pizza night ill do fresh pineapple, jalapeno, and pepperoni. Sweet spicy and salty. Perfect
