2011-2012 SRAM Red crank issue
 

After a few weeks of chasing a “CLICK” during every pedal stroke, we did a brand new BB30 on my Bianchi Sempre Limited. Still clicks.. new Dura Ace Pedal set , still clicks, new wheel bearings, skewers, reset seat post with paste ect.. ect.. finally found the issue.

now I am looking for a replacement left side crank arm for this era of Red component. Let me know if yall can help ! Is this common ??? Bike is 13 years old.

BB30 SRAM Red Left side non drive side crank arm, 172.5mm.

Or an entire new crank I guess.

Could mismatch the arms, with another GXP NDS arm in a pinch.

New crank set is an option of course I suppose I’m just being a bit on the cheap side. Will a SRAM Force crank arm fit in a pinch ? I see a few SRAM Red used cranks on EBay I may just bite the bullet and grab one.

thanks ! -M

check ebay.... if the exact match isn't there now, it will be soon...

i see them on CL and Facebook too.

Thank you ! It appears a Sram FORCE crank arm of the same era will fit?, not sure if the shape is the same? I have been riding this bike but I DARE NOT stand to sprint with that insert damaged.

I did end up finding a full setup 130 BCD 10speed on Ebay in great condition. It's shipping now.

Thanks all!

i've broken one crank arm, a very long time ago.... it's not an event i'd choose to repeat.

For the record, Red, Force and Rival from this period will all work. Red and Force are carbon, Rival is alloy, and the only difference is weight and finish.

By the way, sharp bike. I've always liked this model, and I would have bought one 13 years ago if our Bianchi rep hadn't gone AWOL.
