problem with KH crank

I -think- that part threads in. If so, try to tighten the pedal a lot
first to tighten up the insert then try to take the pedal out.

I don't know if they have a warranty per se but I'm sure they'll replace
them if they've failed due to a defect in them, like they did for the
rims.

Yeah, Id get ahold of where you bought them and see if you can get new
cranks.

Otherwise put some epoxy on there to keep them tightend. JB weld is
good. If you can take out the thread insert completely, smuther it in
JB weld and re insert it in to the crank. Otherwise smear it around the
crank/thread part as much as you can on both sides. It should hold up
pretty good. But as I said above....try to get them replaced first.

I don't have a pair of kh cranks nor have ever seen some in person, But
if you are right then I bet those two holes/indents on either side of
the insert are meant for a tool for tightening. go to a bike shop and i
bet they will have the tool.

my dad emailed kris holm and he said that the insert should tighten as
you tighten the pedal and it could come a little loose as you loosen
the pedal. he also said that as tight you get the pedal is as tight as
you get the insert.

It's no big deal.
I have the same "problem", the cranks will still be asskicking strong.

If its what I think, then its probably the same problem that the
Koxx-one cranks have. Once the crank is loose, the cromo of the insert
will slowly pound away at the aluminum and it will make the hole
larger. It sounds like the KH cranks may have a way to somewhat fix it
before it gets bad.

Maybe its different somehow though, either way it is something you
should take care of quickly.
