  • Oh dear. I've ruined a crank taper. FFFFGGGNNNHHH

    Anyone know who might re-machine the taper?

  • I think jacqui once managed a bodge with a bit of careful hand-filing and coke-can shims.
    How bad is it?

  • got about 5mm wobble going on. Bad.

  • I used bits of a hammered-flat baked bean tin before and never had any problems after that.... worth a go?

  • braze it on ftw :)

  • Which crank?

  • hammer + file + pray = you'll be fine.....gramps

  • how do you ruin the taper ( out of interest ) i thought that was close to the strongest part of the bike

  • run with loose cranks usually
