Remember how a few arm-chair engineers called this out? Well who'd a thunk it..

dude...:
for anyone who bought these cranks, email eclat or your local distro and they should send you a replacement non slotted axle

got bike?:
I didn't buy them or anything, I still have my old Powerbites, I just had a discussion with someone and wanted to check what exactly was the problem of those complete bikes.

I just checked other photos of those cranks and noticed they have three slits, not two as i thought, so rotating the slits 90 degrees won't really solve the issue. That photo above didn't show them clearly.

dude...:
yeah its a silly design, doesnt even make removing the cranks any easier either, still had to belt them with a mallet to get em off

got bike?:
Thats the case with all cranks when they are still new. Those arms look nice with that transparent green though.

dude...:
yeah but the whole point of the design was to make it easier to get the arms off as soon as the spindle bolt is loosened
