this is a bit difficult to explain, so apologies for the poor explanation before I start.
I've got an slight creaking / knocking sound coming from my cranks and / or bb. I can only hear and feel it at low speed. I can make it happen by pushing hardish on my left crank, it makes the knocking sound at about the 9 - 10 o'clock position, then it also does it on the right side too (around the same position). I have checked and the crank bolts are all done up nice and tight and the cranks themselves are also tightly done up. My chain isn't too tight, so I don't think that is causing it.
My main concern is that there might be something wrong with the bb, which was new at easter that will damage the cranks (also new then). It's been like this for about less than 2 weeks.
does this sound familiar at all to anyone? any advice is much appreciated. I'll try to think of a better description and update this if I can.
