I’ve never really payed attention to the non drive crank arm but on a stop today the massive hole just stood out. Did a cover fall of or something? For context this is a Red E1 crank arm. Dub WIDE. Non power meter. by FreeChocolate4 Bicycling Bike Bike Repair Biking Cycling Repair

Mothernaturehatesus on January 8, 2026 10:38 pm Are there threads in the hole? My SRAM Rival crank has a threaded cover that’s come out before.
