thought this might have been new bearings settling in but no,

have now realised what is wrong, left had side crankarm where pedal goes through catches on stand, how would i sort this guys

cheers mike

i had the same problem when refitting the crank arm onto a shopper style bike, solved it by taking out the cotter pin and sliding the crank a bit further out on the bb axle (if you see what i mean) then re-tightening the cotter pin.  there's not a huge amount of clearance between the crank arm and stand  :/

are you able to get a picture posted of the crank and stand touching?

hi quickly nipped out took your advice, knocked cotter pin out,

think i had crank arm on to far, crankarm is now flush with bottom bracket spindle( if you get me ) not much clearance there is there? only a matter of moving it 2-3mm out and problem solved

nice one , set of decals on now and job done  

wheres the pictures then mike?  

glad it worked out mate!    panic over    now keen to see those pics
