Hi Michael, The first time it came off did the damage that allowed the second time it came off to happen more easily. The steel spindle rounded out the squarish aluminum hole in the crank. There are other nice cranks out there, but the Sugino XD is the most consistent, reliable crank I've ever run into. Even so, we'll intro a new crank in a year or two. Not worth waiting for, but it's a fact.
