wording

| Jul 18 at 11:24 | comment | added | Chris H | Superglue has essentially no gap-filling capability and is brittle. Epoxy, on the other hand might do something. You'd have to degrease the interface thoroughly, apply Epoxy all over, the mating faces then tighten. Ideally allow to cure overnight, and avoid the fastest setting types of Epoxy. This might mean further destruction on removal; you'll probably lose the spindle. | |

Another moment of brilliance

| Jul 18 at 10:49 | comment | added | MaplePanda | @nikostra To be honest, after three years the onus is on you. Things can loosen up over time, and as I mentioned in the answer you should be checking these critical fasteners somewhat regularly (in particular, also your stem bolts). Yeah, maybe the actual fault lies with the bike shop or whatever, but really at some point during those three years you should have checked that the cranks are tight. It would be a little different if you just got the bike serviced last week before you left or something. For now though, just get home first and you can deal with the rest later. | |

Removed illogical statement

| Jul 18 at 10:25 | comment | added | nikostra | Thanks for your comment! I'm not 100% certain but I don't think anyone touched the crankset since I got the bike 3 years ago. In that case it would be either on the bike manufacturer (Cube) or on the bike shop that built the bike up for me, right? | |
