Have been loving this bike so much recently. But...
Cranks are coming loose. They were a little loose on the bike I bought them on and I didn’t use a torque wrench when last installed so they could possibly be rounded. I’m still learning a lot about assembling bikes and has never been an issue for me in the past . :(
Will buy one of those cheap spa cycles 110 (sugino like) crankset if it’s the case. Which means a different length bb as well probably.
For now I will ride it and see how it goes but will have spider up for sale in coming months if that’s the case ...
I've used loctite "stud and bearing fit" (or something along those lines) successfully in the past to rescue square taper cranks that were only slightly rounded. It's a cheaper fix than even the Spa cranks so worth a go. You just need to be patient enough to let it cure properly.
