Crank bolt broke on me so I had to do this roadside fix - this is after I tidied it up at campsite to be bit less ugly.

I have all photos - breakage, this fix and more permanent fix from bike shop on mastodon the thread

I don't notice them that much, only they catch clothing and laces. Alternative is not riding at all and get back home so I will get this minor inconvenience as tradeoff.

For all the pedal pushers out there that love long distance cycling. There are no gear requirements and no 'minimum distances' here.

Have you ridden for a cheeky overnighter or a 3 year global trek? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.

Have you got panniers, bikepacking bags or just a backpack with the essentials? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.

Have you got the latest in carbon engineering or your dads old 10 speed from the 70's? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.
