  • Good luck. I recall now the old pomps did come standard with an on one external track crank - they don't exist anymore, but you could ping planet x an email to see if they remember the size too.

    As a bodge, I've used a diy clamp thing to provide an approximate level of bearing preload, and then just done the pinch bolts up good and tight.

    I don't think the big bolt is ever intended to provide resistance to a crank falling off, as the plastic one will fail pretty quick.

  • I just "estimated" the pre-load by leaning the bike on the ground with the drive side down to push the axle through, and held the non-drive crank on firmly. I think I erred on the side of going too tight so that it was less likely to come off half a dozen times before I got home!
