Hello guys, pretty new here… i just bought my first fixed gear bike yesterday and it was all good but after few minutes of cycling my crankarm just fell off and now it’s in this state… do you have any tips on how to repair it?

New cranks!
There is no repair for that. You’ll need a new crank arm or crankset if you wish to upgrade from whatever you have.
Those can’t be fixied
It’s a fixed gear, but you can’t fix that gear
She’s toast Clark!
New cranks incoming. Bottom bracket upgrade opportunity.
Retorque your new cranks after the first ride.
Sorry bud, that’s fucked. It’s now garbage or art.
Tried to reassemble that crank arm just fell off again after few meters, damn… is there any crankset brand that i should look for? Gotta be a hella of a crankset
Andel cranks are nice and stiff, also fairly reasonably priced.
I’d you really have to, crank it down tight with the bolt, but beware that you’ll ruin the bb that way if it isn’t already, that will get you through for a little bit. Otherwise, get new cranks if the bb is in good condition.

If you want to spend as little as possible, you can just buy a replacement left crank arm and make sure that the other one is on tight. I had this issue recently and bought a replacement left crank arm for ~$15
