Just a word of warning
Fell off my bike 9 weeks ago and fractured 3 bones in my hand, not the bikes fault, it was the daft twat that was riding it.
Just got back on the bike about a week ago, went out for a road ride just to check how my hand felt, after about 6 miles it felt as though I might have bent a peddle, which seemed a bit strange as I had just ridden 6 miles and not felt it until then, 200 yards further up the road my crank arm fell off, much to the amusement of my so called best friend.
When my so called best friend had stopped laughing his bollock's off, we found said crank arm and Allen bolt.
Because we had only gone out for a road ride we hadn't taken any tools at all.
Luckily 2 roadies were passing, so I called them over and luckily they had a multi tool.
So thanks to them managed to tighten the arm back on.
A quick ride to the pub, a couple of pints of Guinness and a discussion about our friendship, which seemed to be wearing a bit thin, and a ride home, I then retightened both Allen bolts in the garage.
So I just wanted to warn everybody, just check and see if your best friend..... really is your best friend........
No I mean, just check your crank bolts are tight.
I've since been out twice on my bike and it seems everything is ok with said bike....and SO CALLED BEST FRIEND
