TheMunn Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 Sound's like some one needs to grease some things up, take your pedal's off, cranks and bottom bracket out, have a look to see if they are still good to use then just grease them up and put them back in. Should be alright after this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wally Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Mine used to do this and was really annoying, i tried changing everything, and i used to put so much grease on my BB, and tapers but it made no difference. Then one day it jus stopped and has never bothered me since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Drewery Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 I had a similar problem, everytime i pedalled the pressure caused my cranks to clunk. I found out it was my bottom bracket, took it out, greased it all and put it back in. Its not as bad now but still does it a bit, check everythings tight-cranks, bottom bracket, chainring, cassette etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMunn Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 You will need to check the pedal's are tight aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecatracingcat Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 If it was not there when the frame bb and cranks were new, then it needs a clean grease and tighten, don't grease the tapers though. If the noise has always been there it could be the weld in the bb area, but this is more common on mass produced cheap frames where the welder welds both down tube and seat tube to the bb at the same time causing an area of tube on the inside to have no weld at the join, causing creaking. (it's still called a seat tube even if you don't have a seat). Tighten bb cups drive side first as hard as you can with a 10-12 inch lever, then non drive too. (about 390-450 inch pounds) off the top o my head. And a bit less for the cranks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
