Hi
Well heres a brand new thread.
We have all had bike noises, some which we were able to get rid of of, some
which we werent. Lets talk about the ones that were annoying and finally we
truimphed over them.
I had one customers bike..worked perfectly except weird crank noise.. I was
sure he needed new cranks as I took them off cleaned them and reinstalled
them with a torque wrench still creak creak.
Well new cranks didnt solve it..
At some point I felt like ripping out my hair..
His bb was on the way out..so I replaced that, greased where the seat rails
are, replaced the pedals, put the old crank back on..made sure all the
chainring bolts are tight. I think after that
it was good but I guess i WAS HALLUcinating at that point and was unsure if
there was a noise still.. in fact I was sure I could see gnomes running
around the shop at that point..(thats another story the bike gnomes)
In any case the customer took it out and had a big smile on his face I was
almost in tears.. oh well..
