I got the rimpact product and like it on big bike. Significantly lighter than Cushcore iirc which is why I did it. But I’m almost certain that cushcore are better. Just the last of my weight weenie urges.

I truly have no idea how this happened other than that the cranks are very old. The splines on the spindle look perfect but the splines on the crank arm are very donezo.
I called wife flight for the first time in my life, threw a set of square tapers on the bike and rode to work.
edit: the preload thingie looked fine when I installed it but it fell apart in pieces on the side of the road when I loosened the fixing bolts to try to straighten the arm. It was very difficult to get the damn arm off the spindle on the side of the road in a blizzard.
WTH: I think I lost my multitool in the snow.

What done it? Not ridden too hard and he found the crack before a ride. No damage to the top tube.
My guess is rock hit that made a lil crack then the hot cold cycle and more riding made it worse
Niner? They don’t like to stay in one piece.

Internal butting might end there

You have too many beers/weeds whilst installing and like forget to tighten the clamp bolts. That’s a weird failure for that type of spindle. If it was an octalink BB I’d say you just didn’t seat it properly and just torqued the clamp but but yeah Idunno that’s strange.
Yeah, I’m thinking that it was because I was rushing to get the thing rideable last night and they were merely hand tight and not actually torqued. Also probably too many weeds.

Should I replace the borked left arm with the $129 DA version?
