As you can see from my numerous recent posts, I am building up a frame. ( Which will be my last for the summer. The mancave is getting too friggin' hot). I am having trouble installing a Ritchey Octalink Crank.

Everytime I think I have it torqued down enough, it loosens as soon as I put weight on the left crank arm. Of course, the downward motion on the left crank is counter clockwise and loosens the nut.

What am I missing here? One thing, I did not install the two thin washers that came with it because I couldn't figure out where they went. (Correction, I just took out the bolts and discovered that I did install the washers).

Sorry to keep bothering all of you, but you are the best bike mechanics I know.

Thanks,
