I show how to find and repair clicking, ticks, creaks, squeaks, knocks, clunks, or other strange annoying sounds coming from a bike bottom bracket or cranks while pedaling. I show the most common causes for noises and how to fix them. Keep in mind a noise can seem to be coming from the bottom bracket, but can really be coming from somewhere else to the pedals, cranks, seat/seatpost, loose chain ring bolts, or even bottle cages.
