George.E Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Just a quick question, i have a square tapered BB and when i pedal it makes a creaking noise from the crank going onto the BB, i no this isn't the BB because it happened with my old one, it works fine but just wandered if there is a way to stop it ?Cheers.

LukasMcNeal Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Have a quick go at the BB with a BB Tool to make sure its as tight as can be. Take care though because you dont want to strip the threads! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
