i have a raleigh sports 3spd with a cottered crank, i had a ***** of time removing them and a ***** of a time replacing the cotters,
once i finally got them back together i vowed i wouldn't never take them a part, i will pour motor oil down the seat tube before i screw with those cotters again, but.... i love the r nuts on the crank, and they keep the vintage of the bike intact soo i have no interest in changing the cranks
