First day of a seven day riding holiday and I bend my left crank arm at revs after catching the pedal on a stump!

With all the covid shortages even crc is out of stock so next day delivery is difficult.

Anyone know of a shop in North Wales that has a chance of a pair of MTB 73mm cranks? Anything 170mm and gxp would be nice to reuse the current BB but I'll take anything!

Chester isn't a million miles away, there's a big independent called The Bike Factory, the Specialized concept store is next to it, (although the same ownership) and an Evans.

I had to buy pedals a couple of years ago when I turned up to betws y coed without any. There was a bike shop near the trails.

My mate mashed a rear mech at Llandegla, and drove to Tweeks and back and refitted it by the time we'd done the first lap.

Bike Hut Rhyl, possibly.

Remember stock is really poor everywhere ATM.

Just going down mainline at revolution bike park and on one of the flat out straights I just caught a tree stump with my pedal hard enough to snap the pedal axle and bend the crank arm!

I went flying but somehow walked away with a graze or two!

You were very lucky- I did the same at cannock and now my collar bone is a little wonky

I guess you are sorted now but if not message me.
I can probably sort some sram cranks for you by Llanymymech
