It actually looks like they are on the wrong thread, which is probably why they look like they are drooping.
It is quite hard to believe that you could bend a pedal axle. If they are cross-threaded the cranks are probably damaged too (I don’t think you’d get them screwed in that far if you mixed up the sides).
i damaged one to a point it was angled extremely. so i got a new set and i’m trying this setup out. this is working for now and i’m going to replace the other crank arm. You can probably guess the q factor is near the high end.
Prolly not, but when you talk about that you have never seen something before, doesn’t mean much when ur so young. How long have your been riding uni anyways?
