Creaking cranks

(1/4) > >>

Dark Diggler:
Help needed (maybe).  My cranks (stock 3pc-05' Ripper) have started to creak (more like ticking actually). I remember vaguely that 3pce did this bitd but cant remember much else (generally ;D) .
Q/ is it a problem and even if its not what sorts it out. As always all help and info appreciated :daumenhoch:

The worst for it were the Sugino GT alloy cranks they fcuked me off big time bitd, tightening doesnt work either I eventually changed to flights .

Sorry I cant help

MartyC:
Dry joints on the cranks to axles, axle to bearings, pedal threads to cranks can cause this, strip them down and put a thin layer of quality grease (teflon based is good) on the axle, bearing case (if sealed) the crank splines, pedal threads and put it all back together.  Also, pop the seals off the BB bearings (if sealed) and regrease those too.

Not a definite fix but has always worked for me  :daumenhoch:
