Gee Atherton Shares Hospital Update After Heavy Crash in Bolivia

Whatever he cased, it was enough to twist the crank spindle and NDS pedal (amongst other obvious broken pieces)! Get well soon, Gee!

5 New SPD Trail & DH Pedals Tested: Can Anyone Beat Shimano?

@chrismac70: Probably more like a tolerance issue. Would you prefer they didn't address it?

I stole these cranks and OChain from another bike for the day because of a mechanic mishap with my regular setup. I wouldn't recommend this chainline/BB combo. Race Face does make a Hyperglide+ 4-bolt chainring that would accommodate a Shimano 12-speed chain on the OChain.
