Might be a silly question, but here goes...
I don't have much/any experience with square taper bb cranksets. I'm finding my NDS Crank arm is working itself loose over the course of say a one hour ride. If it makes any difference, the crankset has self-extracting bolts.
Google suggests I need to tighten up the crankarm bolt fully, so that the crank is flush with the bottom bracket. However, if I do that, the crank seems to seize up completely and will longer spin freely.
Diagnosis? I'm tempted to remove and replace the bottom bracket - I bought the bike as a beater off here about 5 years ago, so it could probably do with an overhaul. Is there anything obvious I'm missing in the meantime?
