Why do people that list their bikes for sale insist on declaring the new tyres they fitted as upgrades? I expect the bike to come with tyres I don’t want to pay extra as you fitted tyres - stop it - won’t somebody think of the children

Ride it until it opens right up, or until you find the next blingy set.

I cracked a Funn composite in almost the same way and it's still going without issue.

Ride on. You really only hit (very) borrowed time when the middle bit of the pedal shits itself, 'cos that has the axle running through it.

I’m just being a jerk. Even cheaper composite pedals have been great for me.
Just saw magnesium Vaults on sale under $150 though. Good buying. V11 will be my next set, or burgtec m4’s.

So..... are there cheap crown races that are like this or has it split?

There's a reason i'm asking here....

Havent had fork off since shop installed it.... never seen one with the split.

FSA headset if it matters.

Some are like that - and they're the best ones!

Easy to remove later if required.

They're only a tapered seat for the bearing to sit on anyway.
