hi. just thought i would ask to see if anyone can shed some light on the matter but my left crank arm seems a little bent,i can only notice it when i am pedaling and there does not seem to be any play in the bottom bracket. could it be the crank arm spindle and if so can you buy replacments for Shimano FC-M361?? if its not that does anybody have any idea what it might be? thanks

    thats a good point i never thought of the pedals thanks :) . when the left arm is down it feels lie it kicks out a little bit then when its up it it feels as if it pulls in.

    It doesn't sound like a bent arm. could be the pedal or BB spindle/interface.

    Why are MTB economics; spend twice as much as you intended, but only half as much as you wish you could afford? :roll:
