On my more commute I noticed a clicking back and forth sound in my bottom bracket while pedaling. Not good :(

I suspect the BB has been inserted wrong by me. I plan to remove the BB tonight and check if it has the threads messed up, apart from eyeballing it and screwing in again by hand is there anyway to check they are fine or fucked?

It's alloy frame is rethreading the bb possible or is the frame toast?

If it's when you commute more, try commuting less, this will help..

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
