Hi,
I have read many of the threads rea clicking noises and am about to embark on disembling / tighting / regreasing various parts.
Before I do so, I want to know if greasing square tapers on b/b crank arms is required. I have fitted a new B/B recently and the clicking is (once or twice in short succession on each peddle revolution). It gets worse of course when more force is exerted on the pedels. There are plenty of suggestions for things to try, so just need to know this specific.
When I fitterd the new B/B I smeared a little grease over the threads. Was this the right thing to do?
I would imagine its not that relavant, but its an XT B/B in a Rocky Mountain Instinct mountain bike.
Cheers!
