But be sure your chain is not too tight, it's very easy and very possible to over-tighten your chain. There will be no slack to take up when you begin to pedal hard. I can't tighten the chain any more or else the tight spot in the chain/drivetrain would be way too tight and would cause unneeded damage to the rear hub internals. -Bottom bracket is tight, has the proper amount of spacers in so that when the cranks are fully tightened, they are still able to spin freely and smoothly.

I havent had that problem.. but if you pull your back wheel "back" then the chain will tighten itself. When its tight then the cranks wont spin around everywhere when you spin the bike -- How high do I have to scoop up the back wheel? I mean as soon as I stop scooping, it will drop down very fast. Have mounted all of them on 2 different cranksets, Profile column w/ 4 bolt spider, and Shimano DXR. Everything was purchased new, including any chainring bolts. Out of the 4 of them, 1 is pretty good, other 3 meh. Get tight spot in chain turning cranks. Chainline is dialed, same thing happens no matter which crank/ring combo, bolts are evenly. Take the Profile Crank tool, and slide the sleeve off of it. Take two of the flat washers that came in the box and slide them onto the crank tool. Slide the tool through the crank and thread it onto the BB spindle. Using your wrench, tighten the crank tool until it stops turning. If it’s insanely hard to turn the wrench, stop trying.

Rotate a couple of times, then tighten the c/w bolt. Last edited by tiggy1190 (2011-09-06 3:07am). If I tighten the crank arms into the spindle until they are snug, the cranks only spin half a cycle by hand. I used to enjoy doing crank flips but they don't even budge. If I back off about a quarter of a turn on the crank bolts, the cranks spin like I want - but the arms are lose on the spindle. The chain is not super tight either. Crank loose/falls off. If your crank arms “flop” with every pedal stroke, or if you can wobble them from side to side, fix them now before they become irreparable.
