XTR Wearing Off?

[Yeti DHer]

Does everyones XTR cranks wear off like this?

[Toshi]

Mine were headed that way before I sold them, and my road bike's crank's marking is almost gone. I think the logo rubbing off is normal.

Yeah bro. I don't have XTR tho. I've had this happen on RcFc Turbines and my current set of LXs. I chalk it up to animated foot work while riding! :D

Yep, it happens more so on flats than clipless cause your foot is never in the same place.

I actually have come to rely on this phenomenon to give the insides of my Etnies that cool glossy glow that drives my lady crazy...talkin bout good lovin yawl!

"every girl crazy for a sharp dressed man!":wink:

Buh-bye!

Yep There Atomics, and they are flats. But thisw rubbing off just wears the Finish off, not the stregth right?

[VTinCT]

Right! Fear not brave soldier!

Mine are four years old and are only just starting so scuff.It's more the grey annodising on the edges not the XTR logo.People can still see I'm loaded enough to afford XTR on my d/h rig ;) :D (NOT!!!!!)

The crank's integrity will not be affected by logo wear. Its just like polishing your shoes, dosent hurt anything, unless they werent meant to be polished (so is suede like XTR??)

[Dr.Pepper]

mine are about halfway worn off

stupid me...I was distracted by Luc's pic... Anyways, just installed my newly revived (heli-coiled) XTR DH (165mm) on a new Dh frame and it seems to be working a-ok.
