I decided to put in a new sealed bottom bracket and chain on, as my drive line was a little noisy and was made up of bits and pieces. since then I have heard a creak. so I have taken out the sealed bottom bracket and re installed it. still creaking. I have greased the crank bolts and tightened fucking tight… still creaking. I have taken the dust caps of my time atac allums, tightened the nut and filled with grease. still creaking. It has to be somthing to do with this area as the creak is most noticeable on the up stroke of my right foot and is in the same spot each time.
Had this problem once too. Badly worn chain or worn sprocket with hooked teeth or combo of these two factors can give you bad creaking noise when you take off, going up hills etc, then be silent on the flat.
But if you think the noise is really coming from the crank area and you’ve given the BB all the treatments, then I’m still thinking dry pedal thread.
i get the same thing
and mine is whenever the cranks are in the same position so its definately the bb or cranks
but im yet to be bothered to fixi it
haha
what kind of bottom bracket is it?
is it one of those shimanos with the plastic cup on non drive side? cause i had one of those that creaked but lots of grease on the threads fixed mine.
good luck.
