Phoenix crank

[Dave Mann]

While turning the crank and spraying lots of cleaning fluid everywhere particularly through the bearings I spotted that the crank was turning inside the rear roller inner race, so it was removed with the intention of refitting it with Loctite bearing fit. However on removal it was noted that the bearing had seen better days, so a new one will be fitted. The rear journal had a noticeable step where the bearing inner race had been spinning which didn't surprise me until the owner said it was a phoenix crank which had run only a couple of thousand miles. I was very surprised.
