darrenhopper Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 How do you mean clicking mate?Is there any play between either crank & the BB? Are both cups threaded into the frame correctly? Are the crank bolts tight?Does it only happen when you're pedaling hard? Are you certain it's not coming from your freewheel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearded Midget Posted April 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 (edited) it only clicks when my left foot is forward when i apply pressure,im sure its not the freewheel.there was some play a little while ago but there isnt now.the crank bolts are tighti thought the bb might be loose so it could be the cups.as i havnt got a bb tool looks like i will have to get bike shop too look at it lol. well at least they like me in autoparts(well they like thutley so i will go in with him ) Edited April 11, 2007 by braintreetrials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just get the BB tool and tighten them up. You can also put some blue loctite on them to prevent them from getting loose too fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearded Midget Posted April 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 (edited) i will just get autoparts to do it for me, they wont take a few minutes to do it if its just the cups (providing the drive arm doesnt try and be a bast**d to get off lol, it likes getting stuck )well thanks for the comments they have given me a clearer view of my "click problem"i should now be able to sort it, cheerz!!

Fixed Pants™ Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Spodes' bb creaked, it snapped later that day, if not, it might be the bearings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
