Giving tapered cranks a few good thumps with a hammer, before putting on

larger area of metal contact, otherwise, tiny high spots will hold the
metals apart.


I had to do this to put my crank back on before... K1 140mm
(Aluminium). I used the hammer approach and just smashed up the thread
inside so I can no longer take it off with my crank extractor. Not good.
