Noticed a creak coming distinctly from the bottom bracket yesterday,I could literally feel the creak on the crank arm.So I did the usual process of elimination,change the pedals-Still creaked,retorqued the cranks-still creaked,took off the chainset and all of the chainrings clean the tabs and retorqued-nope,took out the(newish) bottom bracket,cleaned,regreased and plenty of copper grease on the threads-nope still creaked.Hmm looks like worn crank tapers then,dammit.On the off chance I`ll check the rear skewer for tightness,seemed fine but give it a small fraction of a turn nonetheless and suddenly-creak is gone.Remember Occam`s bloody razor lads.... :roll:
