Frequent removal/refitting of square taper crank harmful?

Think I'm riding those 49d's on my avatar photo, near the finish of a 25 on the E8, in 1969.

Always thought that I would get quicker and quicker as the years passed, but I peaked in 1969!

The E8, wasn't that the one that started just outside Brentwood and turned at the Britvic roundabout in Chelmsford? I loved that course, first rode it in 1971.

Sounds the one. Think the start finish was at Mountnessing.

Rode the E8, only a few times, but did ride the Cambrian Whs event on 2/5/71.

My first ever cotterless, single ring setup costing £5 from EG Bates in Plaistow, 1969.

Where have all the bloody years gone?

I think you’ll find they are exactly where you left them - they’ve not gone away, you know. You’ve just forgotten much of it.
