Hi all, got DMR CRisis crank and I believe a truvativ gigapipe BB and I've got some play in the cranks. What would I do to remove the play?
Cheers

    Is it worn out maybe (replace)? Or just need tightening?

    I'm not at all sure, my bike has been taking a beating over the last few days doing trialsy related stuff, back wheel hops, 180 bunny hops, large drops etc and im thinking maybe the lateral forces are what've given it play...

    is that a definite then? Is it not possible just to tighten it up just to get through the weekend?
