Alex Dark Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Loose cranks? Loose pedals? Loose BB? Knackered bearings in BB / pedals? Cracked at the back end? Un greased bb/pedal threads/splines? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSmokeyJoe Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 (edited) What about the axle bolts? My bike was creaking, the reason, the rear axle bolts had become a little loose! Edited March 9, 2010 by BlueSmokeyJoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Dark Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Check the torque specs, or get someone with some experience to show you Forteh is entirely right Be this a crack that's opening, or bearings that are running dry.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
