Crank

[rocknrollgirl]

Is it an old style Race Face like a deuce or an atlas? The DH had this issue and used blue lock tight.

He said the spindle is attached to the nondrive side so the spindle bolt that goes through the drive side would not stay put. He said use only the blue lock tight so it can be removed.

I have a bontrager crankset.

I got the loctite from the hardware store. Then consulted DH. He spent many years working in a bike shop and racing mountain bikes. He told me to wait and work on it when he has time.

I know he'll be really helpful and make sure that we fix it properly, BUT, he works SO MANY HOURS! There are many days we don't even see each other. He'll say he's going to fix stuff, but it can take months until he gets to it. Usually I just figure it out and handle it myself. But this time I decided it's important enough to have him help me with it.

My plan is to seduce him tonight, then at the right moment pull out the crank and mutter something about how sexy he is while he works on bikes

That usually works for me!

Plan worked. Crank is fixed.

Just did my first trail ride of the season. 12 miles. Crank stayed on.
