Mr Greenfield
Over at pinkbike the new Managment team of Crankbrothers have been stupid enough to allow an open questions and answers session on the forums.


"Monday, June 27 at 10:00 AM Pacific Daylight Time, Crankbrothers’ management team will be at their computers, ready to answer any and all your questions. Fire off your questions in the comment section and the team will respond directly"

Were they expecting anything other than the roast of a lifetime? They have got to be sadistic or something. Hahahahah.

Hey! I've got an old Joplin 3 that goes like a top. Actually, it's a maverick, made before CB took them over, but that's nitpicking.

Add to above: 'Why do your $140 headsets have loose ball bearings, not even caged, have balls the size of processed white sugar, and cups too large to fit the frame?'

I used a crank brose head set for many years. It endured a lot of abuse and worked perfectly the whole time.

Haha, had a good laugh when I saw this. Pinkbike removed it off the front page after things went south.

Should be entertaining, if they have the balls to go through with it. I bet CB were reading the posts over the weekend and shaking their heads.

My fav question was to the warranty department guy, went something like this. 'How does it feel to be the busiest man in the world?' Haha

Holy shit, that's never occurred to me, but Crank Bros don't make cranks! Then again makes sense, seems like a dangerous part to fail :tongue1:

And srsly, what sort of reception were they expecting given their reputation???

They did. Of all the products crank bros fuck ups this the one they fucked harder than any other. Was literally on the market for days before it was withdrawn never to be seen again.

Well there ya go. Judging by those reviews it seems it they missed a perfect opportunity to change their name to Crack Bros, which would be apt, since their gear seems to have the addictive appeal of crack, but its no good for you...
