Damaged pedal threads on crank arms, having a hard time finding a replacement, what do I do? I have the Vitus Nucleus 27 vr, but I recently broke the original plastic pedal on it after I hit a rock and so I replaced it with another set. The problem is I completely overtightened and damaged the thread on both cranks.
I need to replace the cranks, however every website I try to buy just the cranks, I am met with either having to buy the whole crankset or just being able to buy the left crank for some reason. Also I'm very concerned about the compatibility between all the components.
So what do I do?
Thanks in advance.
You might be able to rescue the threads in the current crank with a thread tap.  Running the correct size back through the damaged threads might clean them up enough to work.
Failing that your LBS should be able to give you a price to Helicoil them.  Basically they increase the size of the hole and stick an insert in for the pedals to screw into.
