I got squeaky cranks. A whole cacophany of differently pitched squeaks from various components loosening at a variety of rates, cotter pins, chainring bolts, bottom bracket itself possibly. It's quite a racket. Add to that clattering badly adjusted gears including a worn, jumping jockey wheel, bent chainring and squashed front derailieur that either scrapes a lot one side, a lot on the other side or, if perfectly adjusted, a little bit on both sides. Oh and I have squeaky, shuddery, whining brakes... and a bell that rattles when I ride over rough surfaces...
I should start a "heard" thread.
