what a shame that crank is liable to explode at any moment because it is beautiful
99% it doesn’t matter
And all the replacement cranks look like fat turds!
Yeah I’m torn about replacing mine
Everything should be beautiful
get it replaced, flip the new crank, buy something you prefer like rotor or whatever?
Unpopular opinion: FCR9000 is the 2nd worst looking 4-arm Shimano cranks. Only narrowly defeated by Metrea.
Lol I like the Metrea cranks too.
i kinda love the 9000 crank. they went for it. they committed to an aesthetic. and it was kinda cool. everything since is an increasingly dark grey “this shape is stiffer”
It was nice to see silver pop up again and not look like a grouch crank. I specifically bought one so I didn’t have to use a black Sram or gray ultegra blob. Everything since has been sad, turgid gray turds.
Also a 9000 lover but never had one.
I wish I could figure out which NW ring to buy for my metrea cranks.
Just the hanger? Fingers crossed.
That hanger looks like it saw some shit even before it got broken
one of those guys that didn’t understand the ratchet part of the qr?
But how’d you do?
love those R3s. sold a ton of them and they always looked great
