I have an issue with my recently built steel fixed gear bike. When tightening the crankarms on the BB, I can easily over-tighten them to the point they can't turn anymore because the crankset makes contact with the BB. I thought that might be normal to not tighten it too much, so I went as far as I could without making contact and called it a day, but after a 10km ride, the non-drive side arm was coming loose. I didn't use thread locker but still, that doesn't feel right.
My gear:
- frame: 68mm english-threaded BB shell
- crankset: Miche Primato Advansed Pista 165mm (recommended BB size: 107mm)
- BB: Tange - LN-3922 68mm Bottom Bracket - BSA 107 mm
Any idea what is wrong here? Do I need to get a longer BB (e.g. 113mm) despite having the recommended size?
Thanks for your help!
