When commuting to work this morning, I noticed that my left pedal was wobbling. I stopped to check, and suddenly had the complete crank arm in my hand
I have a 15km commute to work (into the nearest town), most of it in rural areas. Luckily, I had reached the urban area, so I dropped in at the tire shop where I buy both my motorbike and car tires. I borrowed an Unbrako key and remounted the crank arm. I guess I lost max 5 minutes on the incident.
However, I must say i'm quite surprized that this could happen. The bike is my Haibike with Bosch CX smart system, and it has done approx 550km since i got in in September. Quite a new bike in other words.
When I get home, I will take the crank arm off and inspect it. Is there anything I should do / check before I torque it down to the torque value stated on the screw's head? Should there be any grease on the splines? Anything else? I guess it could be wise to check the other crank arm as well.
