Basic Troubleshooting
Problem: Crank Arms or Pedals Feel Loose
Solution:
A. Make sure the pedals are tightly screwed into the crank arms.
(See Figure 6.)
B. Make sure the crank bolts on both crank arms are tight.
C. Make sure the square opening in the crank arms have not been
rounded out. This problem is caused when the bike has been
ridden with loose arms. Replace the crank arm if the sqare taper
shows damage.
D. Make sure the bottom bracket is tight in the frame and bearings
operate smoothly.
