i got a set of race face evolve cranks (two ring & bash combo) and a matching evolve dh bb. i know, they say that the dh bb w/ the 118 mm spindle is not to be used with multi ring setups, but i did it anyway on my azonic evolution ii. i have it set up w/ the spacer for the fact that it is a 68mm bb. i am also running an evil drs.
i noticed that the bolts holding the cranks on have started to come loose on my rides. i don't have a torque wrench (i know i know) so i try to guess how tight to go on the bolts. sometimes the bolts hold tight. sometimes they come loose after a few strong pedal strokes (grinding up hill, pedal kick to wheelie drop or manual, etc.). sometimes they stay tight. mostly an issue on the drive side, though it does happen to the non-drive at times. i got no loc-tite on the bolts at this point, but i am getting tempted.
any advice or experiences to share?
