I have to admit to being impatient and ham-fisted when it comes to cotterpins.
I currently have some cranks that I need to re-install and am having problems because the cotterpins that I have do not fit well. I did tell the people from whom I ordered the cotterpins the types of cranks that I needed them for, but seem to have ended up with ones which are a little too large. Or maybe it's my installation technique?
I would be very grateful for advice as to which size of cotterpins I should be looking for. Are there types of cotterpin that are better than others?
The cranks that I need them for are a Chater Lea set, and couple of different Williams sets.
Thanks,
