HELP -SS - DK BB and Crank Noise (Profile copy)

Rudy said:

I hope someone has an idea as this is a new problem. On my steelhead
I have a clicking noise that I can feel and hear. It happenes at
about 5 PM on the right drivetrain side downstroke on every
revolution.
Last night I pulled the cranks and BB out. I checked the chainring
(32T DK iron cross) and it had no bent teeth. there were a few that
had a score from a derailed chain. I took sand paper and smooted out
the score as best I could. I cleaned and put blue locktite on the BB
shell cups and the crank bolts. I let the blue locktite setup
overnight and then this morning I put it all back together.

Still the clicking persists and when I hammer it clunks. I checked
and the crank arms and they do not seem to be loose...

Also when I pedal very easily it doesn't happen. It happens exactly
at the same place every time. The BB cups and bearings seem fine and
look good. These cranks have less than 100 miles on them too.

Also It isn't the pedal either. Doesn't feel or sound like it and I
just swaped them out.

The chainline "looks" OK too.

I am hoping someone has an idea.

Any help is appreciated, this is driving me nuts.

Is the bottom bracket a cup-and-cone model? If so, check to see if your BB
spindle got pitted from an impact. I've crashed a couple of times on my
road bike with traditional bearings. The spindle had a big pit in it that
was causing the click. If cartridge, try replacing it.

Nah it has a spindle with 4 sets of sealed bearings. I gave up and took it
in the lbs. Thanks anyway.
