Remember to tighten every bolt after you're done servicing your bike haha. Check out my crank arm after a tiny 4 foot drop off, 2010 Christmas Eve ride. Anyone have a spare left hand side 175mm SLX (HollowtechII) crank arm for sale ;-) The splines are toast ;-) Merry Christmas

 Haha, thanks for the tips.... but my problem was not with defective equipment... but a defective mind haha... nah, I just plain forgot to tighten the crank arm bolts after servicing them... and snap the splines off left arm... when I landed off the drop-off.
the spindle is still fine.
I've temporarily fitted a Deore 175mm while I hunt down a SLX arm ;-)

 no fixin' that...not that l know of unless you just drill a hole in it somehow, make some sort of make-shift cotter pin design. l have a rider bud who most likely over tightened the pinch bolts, now they constantly come loose while riding.
