Hey,
I recently got a new Miche Primato Crankset & Miche BB (1.5 months old.) It KEEPS coming loose, creaking and cracking and generally being a bit shit.
I lost my rag with it the other week and have lockit the bb cups in (as they are both loose rather than one being attached to the BB) but it still creaks pretty badly. I don't think it's anything to do with the chainline necessarily and can't figure it out.
It's on an Aluminium Fuji Track frame which I know may mean the quality of thread isn't incredible but riding with the soundtrack of cracks & creaks is becoming slightly unnerving. Anyone got any ideas why it makes such a racket? Do I just need to get a better crankset & BB?
Cheers for any help, Stanley
