I've had some clicking (once every RPM on each side of the bike) in my crank/BB area for a month or two now. It happens when there's any real force being put through the cranks and happens when they're at their 3 o'clock position.
I started by replacing the chainring bolts with nice new stainless steel ones, applying grease and fitting them. The clicking didn't stop...
I've tried numerous pedals, chains, sprockets and yesterday replaced the old BB with another new UN54 (metal LH BB cup). This has stopped the clicking in the RH side, but it still remains on the left.
Can anyone suggest anything else I can try? Are the taper/s on my cranks probably fubar?
Officially fucked off with sq taper. I might see if I can find a outboard bearing BB setup...
