matt i would have done but missus is out and im here with the kids
as gremlin said prob needs a little ride to settle every thing

GREMLIN:
It sounds like there are issues with the b.b then. If all is together properly.
The lock nut is tightened right down against the spider is it? If that is loose it undoes and winds the b.b tight...  :) G.

Swivel:
G hi mate, yes its tight against the spider. I've been tweaking the nut on the other side i.e. non drive side (one with two slots)... i've loosened that so there is a tiny bit of play in the crank, then tightened up the locking nut and its moving better now. I think a slight overtightening with that nut which has got to slots in it might have been the problem. Actually guys, is there a special tool i'm supposed to be using to tighten that up? BITD I always used a screwdriver etc... LMK

GREMLIN:
I always use a screwdriver  :D.  The proper tool as far as I'm concerned.  >:D
Usually i set it so the play in the crank is just gone, then after a quick ride around all will have settled and usually needs another setting up.
I never have to adjust it again after that until it's removed for whatever reason.  :)  G.

Swivel:

Ah ha.... so the screwdriver is the tool eh  ;D ok a quick ride around I will do once its done and then may have to tighten it up a touch more. Thanks G  :daumenhoch:
