5 Things That Sound Like BB Squeaks

20-Jun-2013

Chainring Bolts


Kill the creak: Tighten with 5-mm hex wrench and chainring nut wrench.

Pedals

Kill the creak: Lube all points where the cleats make contact; remove from crankarm with pedal wrench, then grease the threads and reinstall.

Crank Bolts

Kill the creak: If your cranks move side to side more than 1/16 of an inch, you've found the likely creak source. Remove each bolt with an 8-mm hex wrench or 14-mm socket wrench, grease and retighten.

Seatpost

Kill the creak: Remove and grease. Corrosion can form between the seatpost and frame, making a clicking sound. If an ungreased seatpost stays in the frame too long, it'll become stuck.

Seat

Kill the creak: Tighten the seat binder bolt and grease the seat rails and clamp bolts. The seat is far away from the bottom bracket, but the noise can transfer through the bike.
