Hello everyone, I am supposed to participate to the Saitama TT race this Sunday, and just noticed that my bike's BB is creaking. Good opportunity to extract, clean, and realign the crankset.
And here is the damage: when I tried to remove the first bolt on the left side of the crank, I accidentally applied too much power and rounded off the bolt's head. I have spent some time trying to unscrew the bolt with no success (tried hammering a slightly bigger allen key, tried using a flat screw driver, etc.). Don't know what to do.
Did you ever experienced a similar problem? Can you recommend a bolt shop or bike mechanic that would be able to help me? I went to a small bike shop near my house (Shirokane), but very unhelpful ...
Thanks for your suggestions. Cheers, Stefano.
