As the coolest place for cycling info that I know, I thought I'd post this here.
I'm not going to name people or brands but a friend has sustained moderate injuries after the CRANK LEG of his utility bike COMPLETLY failed, as in snapped clean (chain ring side) with injuries coming from impacting the bike and the (thankfully soft) ground, during a hill climb.
Sadly, even an inspection of the crank would not have revealed an impending failure unless the whole assembly had been removed.
The manufacturer who is no longer trading has been contacted; and have replied but I don't know details yet.
