I was taking the cranks off my bike (about to clean the bottom bracket) when I noticed the plastic nut on this thing is broken, so I can't fasten it.
I know what it does, I just have no clue what it's called 🤷♂️. I'm looking to buy a replacement.
Drivetrain is SRAM apex 1.

It’s not broken.. it’s split like that by design, you need to look up your cranks assembly process to put it back together correctly
Love this subreddit. Thanks everyone!
Do be careful as I’ve seen many that do break because they’ve been over tightened, it’s pretty easy to do.
