Rant start
My BB came with allen key bolts, but my campagnolo pista crankset came with hex bolts. The hex bolts meant I could put those shinny caps on so I went for them.
After ridding around for a bit I thought I would torque up my crank bolts some more.
I fecking managed to snap one of the crank bolts! buggerlugs!
OK, I think, so whats fecked?
Pricey cranksets OK
Pricey titanium BB not looking too heathly, shite.
Just spent a stressful 30mins drilling a small hole in one side of what was left of the bolt, so I could screw a screw into it. Then tapping the screw around gently to unscrew the broken bolt.
Saved it
and breathe
