Damned loose crank arm.....

[Shaun Rimmer]

Well, the sucker stayed stuck on, but the crank arm has moved a little too far in, meaning in the
granny ring, the chain rubs on the super skinny (2.6) Nokian tyre - looks like a good shimming
session is in short order shortly.

My Cranks are gold anodised, BTW.


Shaun aRe - Hooray for beer cans.

Maybe I'm right or maybe I'm wrong. Never had a loose crankset yet.

I know exactly what has happened - the taper inside the crank arm has rounded a little, when I
re-tightened it, the taper of the crank moved further up the taper of the BB spindle. Removing the
crank, cleaning any unevenness from the crank taper, inserting thin alu shims made for beer can,
re-fitting and tightening up well will solve the problem, and get the chain line back where I want
it. The BB spindle will be un-touched.

Shaun aRe - done it before and those cranks are still going strong.

'Ceptin' some of our canned beer is better than most of your draught beer ',;~P```````

Besides, I 'can' pour it into a glass first ',;~}
