I think its an ingenious idea i just hate how much work it is to put together, after looking theres like 12 steps, id rather just have the easy 4 steps to a 3 peice crank.

I deffinetly think i would get twombolts after my trusty 1664's snap

Exactly. How can you not have fun saying FUNDAY!! You could be all...
"Hey guys, check out my awesome new Sunday Funday I got on Monday!"
As opposed to...
"Hey guys, check out my awesome new Odyssey Twombolts I got on Monday..."

Not to mention that this

Just seems wrong.

They go on in the same time any other crank would. They're light and fairly strong, plus have a warranty you can't beat.

I don't see what's to dislike.

Same and I dont see anything impressive here at all. Just a revised version of a good crank.

So have I, I think most of us have. Doing a ghetto fix is one thing, but when the actual instructions for a installing a part tell you to stick it in a vice grip and pound it with a hammer...It just sends little alarm bells through my head.

Confused

They suggested you set it on a bench vise (without clamping it) so you could seat the sprocket. You could set it up between two pieces of wood or tables or something and it would do the same thing.

They also said to gently tap it with a rubber mallet, not to pound it with a hammer. Plus to protect the sprocket they said to use wood under it.

The only reason you even have to do this is because the arm has a built in adapter. If you had a sprocket with an adapter you'd still have to hit the adapter onto the sprocket.

Really, it's not a big deal and takes only a second to do.
