Ok, so today i was cycling through Deptford and stopped quite suddenly a pair of traffic lights when they changed, i did a small skid and all of a sudden my BB/Crank/pedal or SOMETHING made a very, very scary noise.... my bike is old and DIY, but it has never made noises like this before (Occasional creaks and groans) but this sounded like a tree being snapped in half...i carried on worried and stopped as soon as i could. i looked at the BB area and my cranks and pedals and stuff, but the frame wasn't cracked and they looked fine. The noise kept happening as i cycled home, every turn of the pedals sounded like a crappy halfords mountain bike changing gear and subsequently snapping in half...as halfords related products generally do...(Get to the point..) It is still making this noise every rotation of the cranks, and the noises increases if im going up hill or otherwise.
I am going to take it to a bike shop when i can and get someone to take a look at it, but was just wondering if any of you guys could recommend, resurrect or just be outrageously sarcastic...
thanks....
(please tell me if my spelling and grammar is correct, as i have never been to a school and don't speak Afrikaans)
