primo powerbite creaking problem

(1/4) > >>

therock:
when i set off , and put pressure on each crank arm when  the each  arm reaches the bottom it creaks really bad and its doing my head in . any idea s .

zed4130:
have you got some grease on the arms

harris:
first check bearings and cups are located snug in bb.
then loosen crank arms a tad,then re try.
also check chainring is not bent or of line
and a tad of grease on spindle

Moose:
I had the same problem on a set of New School flight cranks. I stripped them down 3 times (including bearings and cups) and regreased them before putting them back together, each time the creaking never went away.

Stripped them off completely and put them on a different frame, no creaking what-so-ever   :-\

Anyway, try stripping and re-greasing. Should work, if it doesn't you'll have to live with it I'm afraid  :(

harris:
last summer i rode 32 of my bikes and they all creaked,then i found out it was me creaking.   :LolLolLolLol:
