okay hear me out now: why are cottered cranks bad? Seriously, it's been the first thing I've changed when repurposing an old bike for years but really...what is the problem with them? Why do I look at them with such disgust? Are they easier to break, harder to maintain? It doesn't look like it. Are we really, as a society, just discriminating against cottered cranks because they're old?
