Riding around today as usual, I noticed it starting to loosen toward the last quarter of my ride and, out of desperation, here I am. So I applied the blue Loctite to the bolt, screwed it in, torqued it to about 32 lbs./ft., then let it set over 24 hours or so (didn't touch the bike until noon the next day). The bike shop tech mentioned to torque the bolt to 30 lbs./ft.

After riding it around, I noticed the arm was loose again the second time I rode it.īefore this happened, I picked up a torque wrench plus some Loctite (both blue 242 and red) just in case. The second time, he ordered another crankset and swapped out both arms for me and along with the newer bolt. The first time, the tech replaced the arm for me with a spare he had from the same model. So far, I've taken it back to the bike shop I bought it from twice. Sorry for starting a new thread about it, but I couldn't find one that specifically talked about my crankset and the methods I used to try and fix it. Specifically, the bolt holding it in place keeps loosening and falling off. My problem is that the non-drive side crank arm keeps getting loose. Decided on picking up a Giant Revel 3 for about $350, and have mostly loved it ever since.

With my BMX days long gone, I hit up a local bike shop to find a mid-range general purpose mountain bike. I'm a former BMX kid trying to get back in the saddle after a while away from cycling of any kind.
