Since I am now having to change out a perfectly good crank is there a better hub or system than what I had? If this had been an exepensive forged or billet I would be really ticked but right now I am “only” looking at about $1200 to fix  |
Cant you just replace there snout of your crank?
I use loctite (blue) on my damper bolt.....never had one come loose. NOW I've broken the hub on my damper couple of times BUT I am a Bracket Racer so me getting off and on my throttle a couple of times a run is a BAD thing.
