The bolt of my current chainset has worked itself loose and completely sheared off this morning. I only have one bike at the moment so need to get it back on the road asap.
If anyone has a cheap beater GXP compatible chainset or a chainset and BB combo I would be interested in having a look.

I’ll have a crank bolt spare soon if that’s helpful. Is that what’s sheared? should be able to get it out with an Allen key.

Yeah its the bolt that's gone so half of it is in the crank arm and the other half in the spindle. It looked pretty chewed up so I'm not 100% confident ill be able to get it out

You’ll defo be able to get it out the crank. A screw extractor would probably the BB part out. Maybe £20 outlay for tools and a new bolt, or you can have mine.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
