Ah cool, thanks for that info cyfa. Yeah I guess it isn't too bad.

few pics of it nearly done, I'm a bit worried about fitting the cranks as last time I fitted some the left one came off. But I will torque them up proplerly this time!

Anyone know the correct torque setting for crank bolts?

starting to look ok.

I was looking at some of those settings thinking "chuffin' 'eck how tight!" then I realised they are in in/lb not ft/lb

 

[cyfa2809]
