bikerboysam1 Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 just tighten up your cranks, that's what i did and it worked,Hope i helped,SAm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luccosleeps Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 ok first check ur pedals bearings, strange i know but it cud be those, then make sure that the cranks are in decent condition, make sure that the cranks are greased with copper grease, then if its not that its ur bb and u'll probably need to replace it.

luccosleeps Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 well i've probably got way much more experiance than u minors lol and i've had a set of cranks once and they started creaking so i tighten 'em up and, started agen and so on and so on, and then they started knocking and i took 'em off and they f**ked inside lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikerboysam1 Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 (edited) then you just tighten them up with LOCKTITE so they LOCK TIGHT lol and don't come loose Edited December 27, 2005 by bikerboysam1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new_to_trials Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 Keep on doing the cranks up will not help you need to grease the bb or pedals or you may have a crank in the bb axle which well make that noise so just grease it all up if it does it again after 4 to 5 weeks you need a new bb. Hope this helps.Do not just do them up if it is cranked and you do a drop you could be hurt just looking out for you.thanks sam lewis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

el curevo Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 Take them off, give them a clean, make sure the taper is ok, wack a little bit of grease on the taper, put some locktite 242 or 270 on the bolts, put the bolt on, torque the bolts up to the correct torque setting (i think its 8Nm for if its an m6 bolt) Leave for 20 mins to let the locktite set....and bobs your uncle!

Jason Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 OR just tighten up your cranks - do that first anyway and see if it works (which i assure you it will)My bb was creaking on my other bike, and I kept tightening it.Wasn't long until the pedal arm was just rounded off Jason.
