Ashes Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 I recently had the same problem with mine, i took it to get repared and all they did was put some locktite on the crank bolts and its never come loose since. http://www.loctiteproducts.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samster Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 Is it still possible to get the bottom bracket out when you glue it on? When its glued on you probably cant get it off without some big force, but what "ashes" might of ment was the blue loctite stuff which "Locks threaded fasteners against vibration loosening" so you basically can only get the crank off if you want to take it off. blue loctite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theo Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 (edited) Is this the same stuff? My link I think ill go for this. I have the same problem. It comes from the spline on the crank wearing from being ridden a little loose. I learned the hard way (as usual) Edited April 30, 2010 by Theo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I learned the hard way (as usual) yeah it is the same stuff just get a new bb/cranks then put loctite on, tighten the bolt up and you should be fine because ive never had to tighten mine up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

konstant Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 I've got the same bike and have just shelled out on new ISIS bb & cranks. Does it still creak immediately after you've tightened it? If so you probably need new cranks at least. Otherwise, hopefully Loctite will do the trick. I've never ridden for long with loose cranks, used Loctite and for the last few weeks have been bringing an 8mm allen key for all my rides. The creaking has been getting worse despite me running them tighter and tighter. Square taper combined with soft crank alloy isn't a good combo, ISIS ***. If you are going to get new cranks, 7075 t6 alloy is what you ideally want as it's a lot stronger than 6061 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valy_kara Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 see if the bolt hit the end of the crank, then you should cut 1-2mm of the crank with the angle grinder, and then the bolt shouldn`t loose anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt.price Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 i had the same probaly dude. on my old blade the crank had come loose and i ignored it then it worn. this happened a cuple of tiime because im a noob . once you get new cranks ( if you do ) id give them a tighten every time you ride your bike and tighten the pedals aswell, i do it. may be a lil but anoying but its worth it .. hope this helps matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously check your cranks and pedals for tightness before every ride. Just do it. Please! I learned this the hard way. F*cked up my cranks.
