Right ... I asked about this same thing a few weeks ago and was happy to learn that it was not just me who has this problem. I took everyone's advice but the problem persists ... and judging by the responses to this post, other folks are still dealing with it too. So I was wondering if using track/BMX specific cranks makes this less of an issue. The cranks I am using now were made to carry two chain rings so, even though I am using track bolts, I wonder if there is some extra play in my set up that makes these things wiggle loose. So, lets hear from folks with track cranks. Do y'all ever have to tighten up your bolts? My roommate/brother rides a newish Pista and he has never done it to the best of my knowledge.
On a related note, is it worth spending $250 - $310 on Sugino/Campy track cranks when bulletproofs go for less than $50? Is there a viable middle ground?
