Ok, so my left crank arm keeps working loose so I recon it needs replacing as I think the square hole is starting to wear. I'm having trouble finding many places online that stock single crank arms though. Also, i've seen crank arms for square taper BBs with the square hole orientated either square to the arm, or at a 45 degree angle to the arm, so it looks like a diamond when the arm is held upright. So, anyone have any ideas on anywhere that stocks 175mm left hand crank arms, with square taper that is not tilted like a diamond.
Cheers, Adam

I left mine in the road at the junction of the philarmonic pub in liverpool when it fell off and then a nice bus ran over it and bent it into an unusual alien shape.

So much for LX hollowtech bolts.

Try a local bike recycling project, will probably only cost you a few squids.
