Hi Folks,

I thought it was loose cranks, but it isn't. The bottom bracket has part-unscrewed itself in the hanger.

Tried tightening once, but worked loose again after a week.

Just re-tightened after a clean and liberal application of loctite 248. Going for a ride tomorrow. Hope it works this time.

Anyone else had this? What fixed it?

thanks a lot

    I had this happen a couple of times on my Bowery. A bit of PTFE tape on the threads and a proper tighten sorted it.
