hi all
my left hand crank bolt keeps coming loose - only just built this bike and 1st proper ride (about 15 mins) it was so loose the bolt came out by hand. Stopped at evans and tightened.
Then yesterday went out for about 30 mins and it started to creak then when i got home noticed it was really loose again.
Could it be my bolts aren't long enough? I just went into condor and they gave me these Allen key bolts - no idea if you get diff lengths?
I read some1 mentioning Locktite - think that will sort it ?
thanks
sam
