Has any one seen......

........the missing crank bolt from my fixer?


Having picked the brains of the group regarding bottom bracket length,
and done some mesasuring, I ordered a 107mm UN53 from chainreaction.
Arrived, as promised the next day (today). Just got in from the
garage having fitted it (greased the threads, getting the old one out
involved swearing, long levers, Plus Gas, more swearing, effort and
knuckles), followed by the new chainset and shiny new chain. Except
I've misplaced one of the shiny new crank bolts, the sort with a
sealing wsker built in. Bugger. It's in the garage somewhere, but
eluding me.

Bike looks dead good though.

You'll find it the second after you get a replacement.

Try looking very very hard for something else. That way you're bound to
find it.

It'll be under the fridge.

Or down the back of the sofa.

Or, if it's greasy, on the most espensive thing in the vicinity that
will stain.

How's the chainline?

Did it work out OK in the end?

It'll be in the last place you look, so try there first.

That does work. I have two identical boxes of screwdrivers, but one has
cross-head and one has flat. To get the box I want I reach for one,
then grab the other. Works for me :-)

Thanks for the help....
