    I just built a bike for the first time and have the new style XTR crank set.

    The left crank just keeps on coming loose. I can't understand why. I tighen the 8mm allen bolt in the centre and install the left hand thread nut (which seems to contribute nothing - that I can see).

    What am I doing wrong?

    Please help - I'm desperate to ride this new bike!!!

    Cheers

    Do i tighten the adjusting ring against the crank or against the bottom bracket? Currently tightened against the cranbk - I think this is the problem...
