Re-Desighned Hussefelts

[Bike_Breaker]

hey all, well i got an 07 STP1 a couple of months ago and 2 weeks ago i went into my LBS and my mechanic said the cranks(truvativ Hussefelts) had to be replaced because the spline interface was faulty. well i got my bike bak 2day and i was wondering what had actually been changed on the cranks, i know they have been re-desighned but from what i can see the only differences are the "beefed up" spider, the thicker to thinner desighn of the crank arm and the "powered by sram" logo on the side near the pedal insert! does anybody know what was actually wrong witht the the old 07' cranks and what they have actually changed on these "new and improved" models?

Cheers

SRAM just needed to have their name on it...

The ISIS spline on some of the crank arms are slightly out of tolerance. They should be a tight fit on the spline and even with a BB extraction tool they should still be fairly tight to remove. The faulty cranks are not tight enough on the spline and can come loose with use.

yep that was why. but ive got to say props to truvativ for realising their problem and rectifing it before too long, insted of just letting it go and heaps of peoples cranks and bb's getting buggered

Is this a problem only with the 2007 model?

My 2006 hussefelt cranks have this exact problem on a new howitzer BB I bought.

2006 husselfelts should be recalled they are a load of shit. Thats why I have ordered some saint's

stink design

if the 07 cranks are the same as the 06 ones from my experience your gonna have trouble with them always coming loose, every ride i had to tighten mine, got some saints now,i was using them for dirt jumping and i weigh 100kg's so maybe that was the problem too...

thanks guys, yeh you do have to take them into the store you purchased the bike from and you have to take your warranty book with you so the shop can mark down that the cranks had already been replaced if u tried to get them done for free again
