In my head i tighten the crank bolts to precisely the correct torque. In reality i have no idea and may well have over tightened them, tapers look fine however.
Thanks for the suggestions Dicki, i will give this a go but I am almost certain the noise is the cranks slipping on tapers as the bolts loosen. I would like to think the cranks and BB are fine as they have only done 200 miles so far after replacing a miche set which survived multiple winters and did 10,000 miles without whinging at all.
really appreciate yours and hippy's input getting very frustrated!
