I noticed a clicking or snapping while pedaling the other day, intermittent, and more felt than
heard. The problem slowly worsened, and became more of a creaking sensation, and more audible. Today
I pulled off the cranks, cleaned out all the points of attachment, greased the threads, and put them
back on with a torque wrench, to 150 ft lbs I think. This actually made the problem worse. What
should I do? Can I tighten much more? Do I need to replace the cranks/BB? BTW this is a hybrid bike
frame with flat plastic pedals. Thanks for tips,
Adam
