Greetings Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 (edited) I have no idea how the Wiki works and how to add stuff so if you find this of any use, feel free to add it yourself.You will need-A can-Scissors-8mm allen key-Crank removal tool-GreaseCut the can up into narrow strips, about 4mm wide. The length isn't really important as long as it exceeds the length of the spline. Place the strips on the spline and bend them into the axle so they stay on. You'll also need to shape the strips so they match the shape of the spline. This can be done with a 4mm or smaller allen key, or a pencil. The amount of strips you will have to use will depend on how loose the spline is. It's best to cover the whole spline (10 strips) but you might not be able to get the cranks on. Put lots of grease on the spline, onto the strips and between the strips and the spline.Push the cranks as deep in as you can, then brake the strips off using tweezers or something equally smallScrew them down.The same can be done with a square taper although it's a bit more difficult.If you're not clumsy, razors are the best things to use. Unfortunately, they can't be used on ISIS due to the curvature of the spline. Edited September 28, 2007 by Inur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zordon Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 Octalink is similar to the Isis interface to this could work as well - my cranks were badly loose and the bolts were tightened to the maximum so I just put some epoxy resin glue in between cranks and bb. Been working great for over month now without problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N Roach Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 (edited) Spline cranks round off / come loose? ...ah bollox!NO! well, only if you dont keep them tight. When they are brand new they will loosen, make sure there tight every 10 mins until they bed in.
