That is just amazing. I was at half of the video and not understanding what you were going to do. Never crossed my mind a solution for a thing like this... Other than buying a new one. Regards from Argentina!
Wow,wish I knew this fixture existed. I did repair by injecting Devcon 2 ton epoxy through a very small hole drilled in the crank arm using a high pressure syringe and a very fine needle. The threads and mounting faces were protected using RTV rubber held in place with a screw and two metal washers. It worked but took way longer than using the correct tool!
i thought that was a great video....it was novel and a departure from the usual.....the special tool looked like a one-time-use only item and the basic design of the broken out carbon fiber crank appeared to be defective......it would be interesting to learn if this repair lasted one week? one month? one year? the cranks basic design was/is still fundamentally flawed so the repair must be only temporary
Great work man , What is the name of the glue for the carbon fibre ? I got similar problem but with the insert on carbon fibre kiteboard the insert it's totally out ,thanks
@@PaulXchannel thanks mate I appreciate it , hopefully I can find around my region ,if not mostly we have only class fiber epoxy I hope it works , cheers 🤙
@@PaulXchannel do you have any more to sell and will this work with new 2021 sram xx1 cranks? I need to repair the insert or replace because it’s stripped I would also like to make the new insert not have as much inset so my pedals do not bind without having to use multiple washers. Do you have any advice for this job but would be greatly appreciated! Thanks I’m advance and excellent job you’ve done here
This is totally misleading and dangerous. so basically you are going to hold the insert with mix of glue. How long do you think it will last until it experiences catastrophic failure? Maybe when descending from a steep hill and landing on hard surface with 100kg rider putting all the weigt on that pedal? There's a reason why people don't fix these cranks once the insert is loose. When the carbon layout that holds the insert in place is compromised, it's not as simple as lets just fill it with glue.
In principle this is how all carbon fiber works it is a carbon fiber mesh held together by resin, in other words this is how its done in the first place
Must have cost way more in materials & time to make a one time use resin compressor than buy a new or 2nd hand crank, same principle in doing a windscreen glass repair ...

Awesome video machined you’re own tools for the job that’s perfect
Excelent !!!! Congratulations Paul💪💪👏👏👏👏
What is black epoxy paste used to fill and secure thread insert?
My guess would be JB Weld.

Also a good idea.
hi andrew... good idea. where did you drill the hole on the crank?
Very nice video! Great job. Question what is that Wurth product you use for finishing?
Thanks.
Yes product is
Wurth Liquid Metal
this is good chanel 👏👏
profesional work
Thanks
great video mate
Is it possibile to buy this tool?
Quelle colle utilisé vous et la marque, comme elle est liquide.
Merci.
Great job! Did you make any drawings of the tools?
I've just discovered a loose insert on one of my cranks... 😫
Making of this tool was just improvisation.
@@PaulXchannel Ok - gonna copy the idea if that's ok with you.
Carbon Cranks were £400 - gotta be worth a shot! 🙏🏻
@@PaulXchannel You've probably answered these questions already - but have you listed what the carbon compatible 'resin' is anywhere?
Standard carbon bonding resin
@@PaulXchannel you got an amazon link for that? (there's loads of them!! but can't narrow down to a carbon specific one)

Donde consigo la herramienta ? 🇵🇷
Great work man ,

Thanks.
Carbon fibet epoxy resin ( glue )
@@PaulXchannel thanks mate I appreciate it , hopefully I can find around my region ,if not mostly we have only class fiber epoxy I hope it works , cheers 🤙
Magnífico trabalho... Expendido!!!
How is the brass part cleaned after the epoxy cures ?
Mechanically
@@PaulXchannel You grind out the hardened epoxy ?
Yes
Very clever,like it👍😁
Cool tool
Any chance you can help fixing mine? Can send it to you or if you like to sell another tool like that!?
I am sorry I'm busy
Hi! Where can I buy them?
I also want to buy it!
Not for sale
Super !!!
Thats so impressive
Where could I buy all the stuff for the repair
These all stuff are homemade.
Can you sell me one and how much ?please
Too bad it left marks. but it resolved
Is there anywhere I can buy this
I currently don't have this set
Brilliant 👍
So the tool cannot be cleaned ?
Yes.
After approx. 5-8 hours when plastic.
I would sell the tool kit?. It's impressive, congratulations
Well thank you.
Already sold.

I have no other set.
Can you sell one for me pls?😊😉👌
How much will it cost? About the price of new one.... DUHHHHH!
I think the new cranks cost 450e. This fix is cheaper :)
Богоподобно. Хороший уровень.
Screw that I just bought new cranks.

Don't worry.
It works well.
The insert is always filled with glue.
The crank is hollow.

It's not all about money.
Get a clue
@@PaulXchannel haha great comment and do true
Splendid name you have there and so fitting too.
carbon fiber is expensive and bad
