Finally gave up on running cottered cranks on my old Claud Olympic Sprint. They looked the part but the endless hammering and spannering to keep them tight took it's toll. Just fitted a Sugino Maxy Chainset from http://www.velosolo.co.uk/shopcrank.html
(brilliant - next day delivery) and it runs so sweet I can't imagine why / how I lasted so long on the old cotters...
