Bafang crank engagement broken

[Mark Lester]

I am fairly sure the locking teeth on this clutch will only go on one way anyway, which is reassuring. My chum thinks it should go back like it looked, i.e with grease on. I am suggesting my yellow bike grease as a compromise. I need to go get a replacement 5th screw before we put it back together anyway and will pick up some silicone spray from wilko.

The grease you see on there would have likely leaked through from the final drive.

well yes, but then we've a problem, its only done 400 miles. its just going to happen again. at least we can get in and out and i have a spare but i am presumably losing a seal somewhere.
