muttley:
So i got this new Floval and its lovely.
Now I knew the pedals would have to be outed at some stage as thay are welgo's and the shafts were already rattling around inside the bodys when i got it but on Sunday thay finally let go so off thay came and some temporary ones fitted. Now i have got the mother of noises coming from either the cranks or the cassette, its so bloody annoying, not just on the drive side downstroke but on the LHS too  ???

Checked the alignment and its fine.
Had the cranks off and on 3 times wich just leaves the chain (KMC) and the rear cassette.

The noise is like a creaking noise but loud, i had to get off and walk this morning it was so loud  :(

Anyone else had problems with cassettes? Or should i be looking at the cranks/chain?  :-\

spesh:
try retightening the bottom bracket had the same on my jump bike and it was the bb very slightly loose

Stodgy:
Mate - remove the crank arms, grease the spindles well and re-seat the arms. First tighten the end bolt, then pinch the side bolts, then loosen the end bolts off, then tighten the pinch bolts right down, then re-tighten the end bolts.

skids:
Also if it persists;remove bearing cups and grease well before refitting to frame
[greasing any mating faces is a good idea, as it stops corrosion,and creaking in many areas]
I have had cranks make the same noise as you have described, and thats all I have done to cure it!
