Slightly worryingly I noticed one of my front track nuts was properly loose while at a set of lights on the ride home. Neglect or sabotage? Who knows, but I did stop to tighten front and back to be sure. The neglect is palpable, but I have been checking my crank bolts regularly as they’re campag cranks on the incorrect spindle (which I seem to remember means that they’ll always work loose).
Also
Finally bumped into the deliveroo rider who I said I’d tip when I got back in the house but then it wouldn’t let me. Gave him a fiver which he attempted to refuse. He’s the only delivery rider I’ve seen round here not on an e-bike which is a fair effort on the hills of Leeds. He told me he’s cycling to Mecca soon. Godspeed and inshallah Imran.
By check do you mean tighten? IIRC that’s something that breaks square taper cranks ( constant tightening periodically). If it’s just check then no need for concern hehe 😅
