For the first time I've been working on a bottom Bracket of the outboard bearing variety, I've done lots of square taper over the years but this is the first outboard one, I changed the bottom Bracket about twelve months ago as the bearings were rough, and a couple of weeks ago it got noisy with lots of free play, I replaced it again but found the crank wouldn't nip up properly, further investigation revealed the crank bolt had pulled through and wasn't tightening on the crank, nothing I could do with it, too much damage, I've just got the replacement and the first thing I notice is its got a washer on the crank bolt, something thats missing on the old one, so I'm now wondering, was it missing from the start? Did I loose it? Did the LBS not fit it when they were working on the bike? Why did I not realize it was missing when I was working on the bike and why didn't I realize there should have been one there from the start, looks like an expensive error somewhere down the line.
