    I love the kayaking planning a route for Tuesday , very much the fair weather paddler now . Probably the least expensive maintenance hobby I have . I think I've spent £300 on boat repairs and had it 11 years.

    To Thread-Loc or not to Thread-Loc, that is the question

    I fitted hope cranks 3 months ago no issues coming loose . I borrowed a torque wrench that goes to 50 as mine doesn't. Saying that I changed chainring last week and took crank off as I couldn't get pedal off . It was just put on tight without wrench this time. I get loads of pedal strikes I...

    Put copper slip on is all i do if i bother with anything. . I can't say I've ever used loctight on the 15 bikes I've had and can't remember a crank ever coming loose.
