If your using it on a rider, remember they will wear out the chrome or paint round the bottom bracket!!

I hadn't even thought about that , would be a shame but I might get the bike it's on chromed at some point, it's powdered for now though.

Cable tie will stop it spinning on the frame (i.e. cable tie around the boot onto the frame)
Used to do this bitd  ;)  wear you crank out instead.
