I heard an occasional creak from the crank area last winter. Very occasional, pretty quiet.
Then one night, taking off from a stopsign, the right crank arm snapped in half
luckily the crank didn't spear me, didn't have a nasty fall, didn't get hit by traffic...
this was a forged Kooka Bonnie crank. older, well-loved, unabused....
yes pay attention to noises. Same as with any piece of machinery
