Limits of a hardtail?

90 kg is not too heavy and 30cm drop on a hardtail is not abusive. Likely a manufacturing fault...or the pedal was loose. Alivio is a decent budget groupset but I agree that a Deore or SLX upgrade would better if warranty replacement does not materialise.

 

No weight limit listed for this crank on Shimano's website

I agree, the pedal was likely poorly installed. If the crank arm is still straight you could get a hally coil installed and just fit a set of flat pedals. Will give more grip and confidance. You would likely damage your wheels way before anything else if you were too rough.

 

A Xt or Slx crank would be a great upgrade though as they run better bb's and are much stigger and lighter.

 

Happy riding
