Listers,
with all this talk about death blows to drop-outs, I just ran into a problem
that is equally nerve racking. I recently unpacked my old holdsworth from
winter storage, pumped up the tires, lubed the chain, then took it out for a spin.
Much to my disappointment, the NR crank must have smacked against something
during storage. I now have what appears to be a bent crank spider arm(s) as
about 90 degrees of the large chainring rubs the derailluer cage for each
rotation. Does anyone have a way or repairing this? Should I take a mallet to it or
what? Any advice would be most helpful cheers,
