Hi folks just found some side to side play with my cranks I think the movement is in the bottom bracket I have checked the pinch bolts on left crank and they are tight.
The bottom bracket is a shimano SM BB70 and the cranks are shimano SLX. I have not had these cranks apart before is there anything I can service or is it a case of a new bottom bracket, if so any suggestions for a replacement unit.

    undo pinch bolts and check the preload bolt.
