Looked like something similar happened to someone turning from Tooley Street onto London Bridge this morning? He was riding along fine then all of a sudden he was on the floor. NDS crank on the floor about 6 feet away from where he hit the deck with the DS crank along with chainrings also detaching themselves. Was weird

Jesus 😳 hope they were okay!
That baffles me that both sides could come off at the same time, any time I’ve removed a DS crank arm it’s needed a mallet to get the spindle moving through the BB.
*Edit: unless it was square tapered I guess? But still how unlucky do you have to be for both crank arms to come loose at the same time?

I’m not really sure to be honest, definitely lack of attention to my bike mostly to blame. I assume it has a bit to do with the fact that the rubber washer I’m using under the spindle bolt isn’t an original part and actually slightly thinner than the rotor ones?
I was just riding along and it felt like I’d started to unclip so I tried to clip back in and then I had a crank arm dangling from my foot 😂 luckily this all happened on a cycle path and not on a road.
Weirdly not the first time it’s happened to me either but last time was because the previous crank’s thread stripped which sucked.
