Troubleshooting
Crankset feels loose or wobbly.
Tighten the crank arm bolts to the recommended torque specification. If the issue persists, inspect the bottom bracket for wear and replace if necessary.
Chain drops frequently.
Ensure the chainring is properly aligned and the chain line is correct. Check for wear on the chainring teeth and chain, and replace if needed.
Difficulty shifting.
Check the rear derailleur alignment and cable tension. Ensure the chain and chainring are compatible with your drivetrain.
