So if Tom used wired castle nuts with a threaded BB spindle to keep those crankarms onboard, he'd have to carry this: http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd187/MyG503Pictures/M-7.jpg and this: http://www.malinco.com/aerospace-lockwire.html
Half the fun is trying to figure out what to do to get by when things fail, albeit a cyclist's perspective. Pilots on the list will have a different view. Parallelograms of front and rear derailleurs are wonderful receptacles for just the right sized stick or pebble to hold a single chainring or cog for the ride out. Shift cables are in fact dear anymore. Was with some folks on a ride toward the setting sun and it's ocean when the other three in my group began shedding STI units in alarming unison. Good thing I had a set of DT shifters in my bag. Turns out they were used much more than my spare tire once the others had taken their turns. One's itinerary makes it the difference of making it back to your car or another town, city or state.
