aw man loose cranks
so ive got a serious problem and im not sure what to do about it.
a while back i put on some FSA vigorelli cranks on my bike with a new fsa platinum pro bb. now after a few miles the bolt that holds the crank onto the bottom bracket spindle loosens and starts to creak. did i do somthing wrong when i installed them? the cranks were used when i bought them but they werent in really bad shape. are these things toast? |
I have the same problem!!! I can crank the ***** out of that bolt on the non drive side, until I am afraid of cracking something, and after a few days, it develops some play in it, and I can wiggle it just a tiny bit. it is really disconcerting... I think I need either a new left side crank arm because the hole is not perfectly square anymore, or the BB spindle threading on that side is mussed up.

I had the same problem a few weeks ago With my Miche cranks. I changed my bottom bracket and no more problems..
|
try some blue locktite on the bolt. If all else fails cut up a coke can and make a shim for the square taper.
|
SO most likely, if I change my BB ill be ok? Is the blue locktite the one you can get off with some force?
|
aw man my **** is ISIS should i just get a new BB?
