Happened mid-commute, so a nice 6-mile walk home and a holiday day spent. All four went at the same time on my Shimano deore crank. It was a second hand part and looking at that photo there're looking pretty thin in the parts that didn't go. To be doubly annoying, my phone died as soon as I got it out to let work know I'd be late.

damn.

To be doubly annoying, my phone died as soon as I got it out to let work know I’d be late.

at that point I'd probably just turn home and call it, this is not a good day.

Looking at how the part are worn I would guess the bushings have been loose for some time. But shit fucking sucks anyway.
