just had both pedal inserts loosen in carbon truative noir carbon cranks - fishers won't look at them without receipt or local shop send back so looking for a new or second hand option - not carbon though! Any recommendations that are not crazy money - was looking at aerozine X1 A1 light but very few people seem to sell them in UK - anyone got any experience ?

Need to get the hardtail back in action !

Thanks for the help !

RaceFace Turbines are pretty light and don't cost a bomb, otherwise there are always Shimano XTs, brilliant value for money. I just got a set of E13 TRS which seem good and are pretty light, can be a bit pricy though unless you get them end of line.

are the noir cranks new? if not could you send to a carbon repair specialist for the inserts to be re bonded into place?

Race Face Turbine cinch could be an option, but will probably require a new BB.

Noir cranks were 2nd hand off eBay - could something like that really be repaired and if so does anyone know a reliable place ? Thanks for the advice

No one know the aerozine options ? 129 quid for a single ring spider less ?

I'm no carbon expert however I would suggest contacting someone like swarf cycles and asking if they think it would be possible.

For that sort of money my choice would be a SRAM X1 1400 DM crankset. You'll need a GXP BB (or convertor) though. You can find them for £150 online.
