  1. I was out last night when on the way back i heard a strange noise coming
    from my uni.After changing my pedals over and the same noise still there
    i took the crank off, Nearly missing the problem when i saw the washer
    was funny, it looked like someone had got a knife and gone round it and
    left a curlly bit like butter get me?
    any one else had this?

  2. Are you sure that pattern was not on the washer when it was new?
    Cotterless crank nuts have a "ridged" pattern on the underside that's
    supposed to help keep them from loosening. This cuts into the softer
    aluminum of alloy cranks, and makes a bit of a mess if you change the
    cranks much.

  3. Nope i have splined cranks,what it was was something to do with the fact
    i had to long bolts so my cranks kept coming loose.When i got the
    replacments it milled them i filed them down they are final now.
