Ultra-Torque crank question
Broke the retaining bolt yesterday (the one that holds the two sides
of the Horsch (sp) joint together), a LBS found me a shimano replacement (on a campag set of cranks) to get me home, how different are these two parts and do I really need a campag one? |

I have no idea, but having just bought one of these cranks, I am very curious about how this bolt may have broken. It's likely the largest and strongest bolts on the entire bike. ...over-torqued perhaps? Jeff -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

Jeff -- Posted via a free Usenet account fromhttp://www.teranews.com The head of the bolt came off (fortunately the allen key part extends into the barrel of the bolt so the bolt threads gould be readily removed). I believe that the cracking most likely occurred at teh shoulder of the bolt head but the head disappeard so only have the shaft piece for reference. There is a relatively narrow range of installation torques (low and high) specified so gould potentially be either/ |
