T.McMillan Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 super glue, not good, thread lock good, if you want to get them off sometime, heat it up to break the thread lock glue stuff, should be fine or some leverage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Cranks need to be really tight, possibly the tightest thing on your bike so I would make sure they are properly tight first, you are using a long handle allen key aren't you? Otherwise you won't be getting anywhere near enough load onto it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrishayton Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 get the bolts tight, if you only little get your dad to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous_dave Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 +8mm allen key plus "gentle persuasion bar" should do the trick, it did for mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom jersey Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 tighten the cranks everytime before a ride and every 10 minutes you ride, thats what your ment to do when you first get them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poopipe Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 over tightening will f**k the tapers even more. buy a new BB, don't overtighten your crank bolts and hope it wasn't the arms that got destroyed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_malcolm Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 if none of the above work try changing your crank arm.i have a square tapered cranks and my left hand side one the taper has gone very slightly but you can feel it is lose no matter how tight its done up.but lets hope you don't have that sort of problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
