Well back in the early 2000's I was snapping cranks in half as well . I am curious if I will break the spindle though. I have bent the right side crank (shimano em600) once from a pretty mega pedal strike with a stump.All brands of cranks are breaking them. People are getting hurt and Some of us fear riding our expensive bikes.
My bike shop said to check the crank bolt tightness every ride. I usually check most bolts before every ride. Stuff loosens up when you are charging down chunky terrain at high speeds lol
