Just snapped another M960 XTR crank and now need some new ones, what deals are there at the moment for XT or something similar from a different manufacturer. Cheers.

How and where do they fail, what were you doing at the time, i think if i was snapping XTR cranks i would either think i was doing something wrong or using the wrong product ?

Snapped at the axle end where the pinch bolts are, I was sprinting to get past a parked bus at the time. Already spoke to Steels in Gosforth they're going to send them off to Madison for me.

That's not right. I'd certainly wait to see the outcome of that. Madison are extremely good on warranty with XTR stuff particularly.

I shuold think so too. If you said you were landing a jump or drop and they snapped then maybe but road riding? That's not right.

you said "another" XTR crank ... you've broken one before?

Cracked one in Les Gets two years ago, crack on the thread but only discovered that when I got home so no idea what caused that.

I'm under 12 stone so probably about 12 1/2stone kitted up, tend to push big gears as opposed to spinning but they still sholdn't brake, I'll post a pic when I get a moment
