Comments: Test ride of Raleigh hybrid with new left crank.
In April of '22 I replaced the bottom bracket. I forgot about Sheldon's dictum to re-tighten cranks a mile after installing them. It took quite a while, but eventually the left crank was ruined. Once that happens, there is nothing you can do but get a new crank. I thought I would have to replace the pair, but I found a 170 mm left crank on the web. It's not as nice looking as the ruined Sugino crank, but it will do.
When I installed the crank last summer, I felt some grittiness and figured the April '22 bracket was toast. (It sat on my shelf for 10 years before I got around to installing it.) So I got another bracket off the web. I researched it pretty carefully to get one that would fit, but it didn't. With other bike options, I could leave it in pieces. Finally, it is back together with the April '22 bottom bracket. It is fine. Grittiness was probably in the chain, which got a badly needed cleaning and some oil. And this time, I made it a point to ride a mile and re-tighten the cranks. |

| Comments: Haircut. Stopped at La Poteria on the way home. Had a nice chat with Steve, an old-timer from Yorkshire.
Noticed a wobble in the back wheel. Surprising, because that's a new wheel Closer inspection shows that the wheel is straight, but the tire isn't. Tire probably doesn't have many 1000 miles, but it does have more than 20 years. I'll get some new tires next time I'm at JRA. |
