Damn, that really sucks i can imagine.
But seriously, "Just Riding Along", what really happened? i have never seen a broken crank, so i am
curious how one would break (aside from dropping the bike from 40' and having it land solidly on the
crank first).

Pehaps you are just too fat to be riding a proper bike? Is it the diet or the hormones, do
you think?

Wow. Some of your gears fell off. I've never heard of that happening on the front.

I had the exact same thing happen to my next LP set. It took a while for what happened to sink in.
Hmm, foot's off pedal, musta slipped out, Hmmm, can't seem to find pedal with foot. Damn, pedal's
still on foot.
At the the shitmano's haven't broken yet. You just need a new middle ring every 4 months.

From the relative cleanliness fo the break I would imagine it was an internal flaw in the casting..
No worries, RaceFace has GREAT warranty service.

Geez JD, If you would shift into easier gear from time to time and spin a little instead of all
that mashing that properly would not happen

OK, I'll bite. WHERE ELSE could a crank arm break?!?

Well I see the problem. You bought some of those cheap RaceFac cranks. You need to get the ones with
the "e" on the end (RaceFace).

http://pardo.net/pardo/bike/pic/fail/FAIL-001.html
Metal fatigue from repeated stress cycles.
A small crack starts and grows slowly. Eventually the thickness of uncracked metal is not enough to
take the stress, and blammo, it cracks the rest of the way through, even while JRA. For example,
pictures "crank-fail-011" and "crank-fail-017" at the above link. You can see that half of the break
is dark from oxidation and dirt - that's the part that was already cracked, growing slowly. The
light part is what was exposed at the moment of failure.
