Creaking cranks

<< < (3/4) > >>

TwoBobRob:
Yeah,  I build everything up with coppergrease, jobs a good un.  If alloy cranks are ridden loose for any length of time though they will start to creak and never ever shut up even when tightned   :(

ghostriderx:
 just had a similar problem but on mi mtb splined 3 piece cranks, more of a ticking noise like you say. stripped everything down copperslip on every contact point bolt you name it, still the same, so went and bought a new bottom bracket, still the same,  thought what the fook is it. in the end it was the chain as soon as i stopped putting GT 85 spray on it and put some thicker finihline oil stuff on,  it all went silent,  sounds daft try it  :daumenhoch:

Dark Diggler:
Loads to go at there, if all else fails, fook it it creaks :daumenhoch: cheers people ;)

zed4130:
funny though i have had this allot on ally frames  :daumenhoch:

Rooonga:
Yeh - I had the same problem on my Redline Signature 20" the twin pinch flites were always creaking - even after a full rebuild and re-grease.

I think some alluminuim frames just creak a bit!
