XT cranks cracking noise
NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.
Hi all. I am running 2009 & 2010 XT cranks on my bikes and have always noticed a loud "crack" noise every so often when applying power again after a bit of rolling.
It doesn't happen all the time but it's annoying. I suspect that it's the chain seating on the teeth but obviously can't prove it.
Any idea's?
BB is fine
Cheers Tony
Bottom bracket repair
NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.
I was riding at Stromlo and I noticed a squeaking sound coming from the bottom bracket. I want to repair/replace any parts myself. Do I need any special tools to do this job, and if so, what tools? (I don't want to take it to a bike shop because the last time I went, they forgot to put the axle back in the wheel :/)
