OK guys what has happend is on the truvativ hozzfelts how they have the chromo insert that threads into the crank arm and the pedal threads into that. Well my crank arms is threaded what can be done.
Sorry if this is the wrong forum i think it is though.
And I did do a search and could find anything that helped.
Cheers Cole

you could get it helicoiled or i think you can purchase a new insert for the crank arm or a new crank arm

hozzfelts
They're either Holzfellers or Hussefelts.
(Might explain the lack of search results.)
It's written on the crankarm mate...
Still, you got 'Truvativ' right. Very few people can do that.
They're supposed to be 'threaded', otherwise your pedals wouldn't fit.
The thread is stripped, methinks?
Know the question and ye shall receive the answer ;)
(which happens to be exactly what DJman posted...)

Yes spelling would help sorry about that. The Thing with getting it hellicoild is that it is the reverse thread side. Would the easyest thing to do be buy new cranks?

I think nearly everybody has had problems with the hussetfelts. When I use to have my Hardball, the left crank arm practically fell off. It was stil under waranty so Truvative replaced them at no cost to me.

Well my bike is rideable. I got a crank arm (base model truvativ) off a guy at school. I am saving for a set of fly cranks.
