:shock: hello peeps I have been viewing this site for a while and really appreciate the advice. I am glad to have found such a knowledgable group. I have been cycling for ten years and i have a huge problem. My crank arm keeps rubbing against my front fork which is coursing me terrible distress! I have almost crashed a few times and am thinking of packing it in and buying a car, but it is such jolly fun going down the hill at 50+ I feel I am addicted to the rush. I think essentially i am suicidal, what should i do?

Hello!
How on earth does this happen, I can see no physical way it can do this?!

If your crank arm is rubbing against the forks it is possible your bike is missing a component; the frame perhaps? Take it to your LBS where they will be happy to ridicule you publicly.
If you are seriously contemplating suicide, I understand jumping from a tall building is reasonably effective.0 -
maybe crank is a typo ..........................?

or maybe he's running those new crazy 875mm cranks

Acrylic builds up static electricity. Which, when has sufficient build up it can actually deviate the path of water which is excellent when commuting.0 -
