My 92' Crankset (DuraAce) got loose during the last weekend tour and unfortunately it took too long to find an open garage. Now the aluminum crank seem to have some slack, it takes about 20km until it gets loose again.
As it is only the left side I was hopping to buy a new one individually but the LBS told me that they don't sell tapered square cranks anymore (in the groups 105, Ultegra, DuraAce). They told me that I have two options:
a) buy complete new splined Crankset with new Bottom Bracket (expensive )
b) buy Shimano2300 left crank because that group still supports tapered square Axis, (but its a shame for the rest of the bike's group components )
I also wounder if I should look for a used stuff. But how would I know/see that it doesn't have that same problem?
Any recommendations?
Cheers,
Malte
