Compact Cranks II
Put my replacement compacts on the bike this morning and actually read the instructions. Including the special instructions attached to the left crank arm. It reads:
Helps to explain my problem with the first cranks. I didn't alternate and certainly didn't check after 60 miles. Hopefully this time they'll stay on :-)
Put my replacement compacts on the bike this morning and actually read the instructions. Including the special instructions attached to the left crank arm. It reads:
'WARNING - The two left crank arm mounting bolts should be
tightened alternately and incrementally rather than each bolt being fully
tightened all at once ... Furthermore after riding 100km (60 miles), use a
torque wrench to re-check the tightenting torques ... If the tightening
torques are too low or if the mounting bolts are not tightened alternately in
stages, the left crank arm may come of during the ride causing the rider to lose
control and fall.'
