Super quick service from XFT, evidently asap really does mean asap !!And here's the offending plate.You can see the elongated holes.They said it was one of the better ones they've seen as I caught it and parked up pretty quickly.No damage at all to the crank.Apparently they get a lot worse than that, with some people driving them until they fall off and doing all sorts of damage.I'm pretty stoked.
