Haven't done a decent MTB ride in months, and some of the specific trails rode today I haven't done in even longer. Combined with the excellent weather its been a good day all round. Despite recent wet weather, it wasn't even that muddy.
However when I got home, I went to adjust my front derailer as the chain was rubbing. Turned out to be sod all wrong with the limiter settings, but the whole crankset was loose! Cant believe I have spent several hours, some of it along clifftops with a loose crankset! Easily remedied, just tighten up the 8mm allen bolt at the bottom bracket. Is this a known issue with some cranksets? There is no bolts on the left crank, just the big allen bolt on the drive side in the center of the BB and chainrings.
