Crank Arm 172.5

My left crank arm is on a verge of snapping. My dumbass is trying to avoid it by just kicking it back in while I ride (cause it's trying to slip out), but I need to take care of it, I can't go 100%.
Anybody got any left crank arms lingering around. I've checked craigslist, but 172.5 just seems not to be popular now-n-days.

So what you are saying is I'm not looking hard enough? Or I'm lazy. Cause it looks like you telling me I'm lazy. Which is fine. But don't call me lazy. I kill you. =) I kid. I kid.

fork out a $95 and get 172.5 crankset at Jenson. I think they were 6700's or something.

crank arm trying to slip out?
it sounds like your crank bolt is loose....not crank arm is breaking, unless the center part is cracked....
take it to a co-op and borrow some tools, is my suggestion

who would sell a crank arm by itself? just buy a new set.
(nvm, I see they do on Amazon)

bummer!
you can probably try calling the co-ops to see if they have anything extra lying around...
is it modern or an old obscure type of crank arm?

A lot of people do....
Just because one arm is broken, doesn't mean you gotta chop off your other arm. Deeeng. You'sa cold motha-funka.

Does anybody at least know what bike shops might be having some lingering around at least. I've called a couple in the 818, but they be all, "aw-gees, I only have 170 and 175s'"
Wthell? People don't ride 172.5s' anymore or what.... =C

I'm not sure. I have a 90s Epic Road. New to riding. New to fixing ol' "Skyline" up.
I s'pose it be Modern. Should I take a picture, would that give you an idea?

you need to see if the crank has any wording or codes on the inside part of the crank...does the right crank have any wording? I doubt you'll find an exact arm, unless it's a common Shimano or Sugino or something like that, but it'd be nice to find something similar in weight and size, so it won't look out of whack or always be heavier on the left arm...

Cool. thanks for the tip.
I tried looking for codes and stuff. The chain ring is Shimano B-53, but as for the crank arms, all it says is 172.5. I've already did that in my first attempt to see if I could find it online, but no dice. Now, I'm just asking around for 172.5 m crank arms to replace the mine that is cracked. I'll just keep asking around and being on a look out. IF 2 weeks pass with no luck, I'll just get a whole new Shimano Crank Set and do with that, New or Used, it don't matter with me, just how the crank set looks like. (it's all 'bout style with me. S-T-Y-L-E) =)

i have a pair of dura ace road cranks, 172.5mm in length, for sale. im also located in the 818. i will let the set go for $50 which is a steal. if you need a new bottom bracket thats english threaded to match the arms, i have one of those for sale as well.
