Hmm I'm a bit of a noise geek, and assure you that is where I first started...not there. In Crank it is. Think I got it now.

Checked pedals, no problem there, chainrings no problem there...special tool to tighten up spider seems to be the trick. Anyone knows where I can source tool in Cape Town area?

Did just that, noise still there.

I have a twin blade 3D rotor crank and it started emitting a creaking noise on the pedal stroke. The left pedal more so than right. Stripped rings and pulled BB, lubed cups, and copper slipped q bolts. No avail, still there. Noise emits between spider and pedal arm. Any solutions here?

My first MTB competition was in Greyton, and I did not know how the whole starting procedure worked with everybody cramming up for the startline. (this was in fact the elite bunch) Nonchalantly decided I'll join the front group and rode round the front without realising I picked up the danger tape whilst trying to get to the front!! The stuff started bundling up on my casette and I grinded to a cleated wipe out in front of everybody!! red faced I had to clear the mess and see the whole start leave without the newbe. ai.
