Hi guys,
I'm after a bit of advice please. I have a Scott solace 20 2014, which I've had for about 18 months. Yesterday after 40 ish miles I start getting a creaking, grinding noise from the left had crank arm. After pulling over I noticed the Allen bolts where loose and managed to tighten them back up and all was good for 10 miles. Then it started again, the crank arm was loose. I managed to coast it back home as best I could but the arm just came off. The teeth on the arm just grinded away.
Will I be able to get away with just replacing the left arm? If not, will I be able to replace other parts without buying a new crankset?
Im in 2 minds whether to try and fix it by myself or just take it to a LBS. :-s
Thanks in advance
Scott
