Sugino GT Crank Problemo

<< < (3/3)

oldtired:
if the crank arm is stretched out and it is the correct axle you can shim the axle with cut up pop cans or thin brass sheet, done this before,i found the arms tend to keep opening up once they started,so it might only be temporary,somthing to do with the stress in the alloy makes it go soft.

Radsters,
Talk about community spirit  :daumenhoch:
Just wish i'd read your comments last nite before going down the route i did!
Got some of the loctite red stuff and sealed the bugger good and proper.....placed on the srcrew thread and the bolt though so could be a real pain in the arse to remove! Didn't get a chance to see if its done the trick as it was raining last night and i'm not taking my new baby out in the wet :D
The Alloy doesnt appear to be strectched and there is no play when the bolt is first tightened up. I do hope this sorts the problemo.
I guess i should put some pics of my new daily rider up.
