Hi all,
This is my first post on here, I am just getting back into road cycling.
My wife purchased a shimano 105 bike for me recently and it was bought "as seen".
The same day I started riding it the left peddal shaft was loose and kept slipping forward when the shaft reached the 12 o clock position.
After taking it to my local store the tech there said that the coggs inside the chainset had been work down and he would have to order a new one. 2 or 3 days ago I picked it up and today I have noticed that the problem is back. I have been taking it very easy since the problem arose
Does anyone know of an under-lying problem that could be causing this? I am not keen on throwing money away on a 250 euro chainset if the problem is just going to keep re-appearing or if the problem is permanent.
I have tightened both sides of the chainset several times but the problem keeps coming back.
Help please
Thanks
John
