Crank and pedals

[baron von greenback]

My crank or pedals are making a creaking noise nothing loose or grinding and only does it when peddling any ideas cheers

Stop peddling!

To be helpful a bit more information/pictures would be useful -what BB, crank, pedals, riding clips, high input, all the time etc.

Tick, creak, crack or squeak?
Up hill or whenever pedaling?

A lot of Cnc cranks creak like hell on Royce bb axles.
I have tried 4 different sets, all creak.
Just been reading an old Mtb Pro mag bike test, creaking Middleburn cranks on Royce bb noted on both bikes!

Do you apply any grease when you fit your cranks?

I would check the bb, just snug it back up again.

Cheers it's a creak when ever pedalling I didn't put this togher the Royce BB has holes round the outside do you need a special tool to undo and tighten who ever put it on has has half butchered the holes cheers

Ti sq.taper BB axle?
Creaky
Fancy CNC cranks?
Creaky.

Sell them and buy slightly heavier stuff that doesn't creak, and you'll have money left over to upgrade elsewhere

 

[baron von greenback]

Not in to that so all CNC cranks creak or can and ti bb can as well
