The saddle is fine, and my chainring bolts are tight. I didn't lube the spindle. I thought that it was bad to. Tightening the cranks made it creak a lot less, but it also creaked as I tightened it. No torque wrench. Just by feel. I'm scared to tighten them a bit more to see if it'll make the creaks go away completely.

Did you great the spindle before you installed the cranks? I had the same issue with my cranks creaking, I took them off today and found both of them to be cracked at the spindle, I highly doubt that happened to you.
Great? What does that mean?

You'd think that when buying DA cranks he would have gone and bought an appropriate BB instead of going for the cheapest BB
I used to have Pake cranks. This BB works for now. However, I've been thinking about the HATTA BB though... Maybe I'll pick it up next month.
