Today I went on a less than spectacular ride with some roadies. Rode out 14 miles, turned around, about 2 or 3 miles later I noticed a wobble in my NDS pedal. I was thinking that maybe I was tired and my pedal stroke was really bad, or maybe the pedal bearing was going bad.
Then it got really wobbly so I pull over and notice my NDS crank arm is loose, no problem I have a tool kit! But guess who's allen tool stops at 6mm? No worries, one of my roadie friends has to have a legit multitool with an 8mm, not the 3 I was with at the time. Maybe the 1 friend that took a longer route, lets wait for him. He does have a multitool, yay, the day is saved! Unless he took off the little 8mm sleeve for his topeak tool, ****.
Limped home, had to stop every mile or so to jam my chain tool and rubber band into the bolt to tighten it just enough to not fall off, arg!
TL: DR: rode bike, crank arm bolt came loose, no tool, limped home, rage.
Good note, I went to McDs for lunch, got me one of
these;
Totally going in my bottle cage.
