My bottom bracket makes a lot of cracking noises even though its been faced and all that, and it's been maybe 3 months since I last had it taken apart and cleaned.
The noises are only heard when I'm climbing and standing in the pedals. I can't reproduce the noise by torquing the handlebars so I know its not the headset.
I do track stands at stoplights and I notice the noise every once in awhile. My coach thinks track stands are silly and he said that doing those is probably what's wearing out my BB because it puts so much pressure on that area. This seems like a silly way to just get me to stop doing it. Is he right?
And any other suggestions about the noise?
