I've recently put together my first build and I've noticed something odd. When I resist the pedals hard, or push down hard to accelerate, the cranks seem to skip. This does not occur everytime (has only happened about 4 times) but only happens when doing this. I've only just put the cranks on, so they're super tight (maybe too tight?). I thought it may be the cranks skipping on the BB spindle but surely it would only happen to one crank, as both would have to had moved the same turn together which would seem unlikely. The BB cups are nice and tight, there is no play in the spindle, pedals are on securely, cog and lockring fully tightened, everything's nicely greased. Anyone know what the 'skipping' could be?
Thanks!
