Hi guys, this is my 1st or second post.
Just wondering if i could have some suggestions. i own a GT ZR 3.0, have been riging for 6 months, it is a nice starter bike, ride it every 2nd day averaging 50 to 80 kms. I had issues with the BB, at least thats what i thought. Local store took it out, re-greased BB, cranks, pedals etc. This fixed a grinding sound i was having about 3 months ago when pedaling up hills or really pedaling hard. Recently though I have noticed that i am getting a less severe noise but its still there. i thought it was every crank rotation, I tried pedaling with only 1 foot on a pedal but can't get the noise to re-appear, not sure if its because you can't put as much pressure with 1 foot, tried both sides but no noise. i have tightened cranks but fear I have over tightened as now I get a bit of play or a chink noise every time I put pressure on the pedals.
Any suggestions, i am getting it serviced this weekend, getting them to check the BB/Cranks etc but they will most likely think im paranoid, plus it could be something else. Any suggestions ? ?
Thanks Glen
