Sadly I lost my patience this time and wrecked the two pins

Damn. If you’re looking to replace the cottered cranks, get hold of some old pins (60s/70s NOS) if you can, they’re far better. But you’re still into the tap tap tap, file back, tap tap tap & screw tight, ride for a mile or so, tap tap tap screw tight, etc. stage…

Can you go cotterless without too much pain? Or are you looking at Raleigh 26 tpi threading woes? My Raleigh Twenties are all about the Phil rings and un71/2 bb conversions. But I gather the cost of the Phil rings is now obscene.

I use some threadlocks and usually it does the job, it's for an old Peugeot race bike and I want to keep the parts so not going to convert it

I'll try to get some old pins then I've noticed new ones are also different sizes sometimes
Thanks for the advices!
