After about 3 months without cleaning, I finally washed my klein. It looks like a new bike except for all the chips and scrapes in the paint. I BADLY want to put a picture of it on here, but the rear shock is getting rebuilt. After the shock comes back, I will post a picture of my klein. I also cleaned my P.3 frame, but I am waiting for new bushings for the fork. So after the bushings come in for the fork, and after I put the bike back together, I will post a picture of that too! later....|matt

Hey boys, nice bikes. I like to see pics of the bulletin boards that I go to. Im just bored, killin time till I can sleep, It's late and I got school tomorrow, but laying in bed trying to sleep sucks too. Anyways, I've been riding lots and either my cranks or my pedals, or my bottom bracket or whatever is clicking. Sometimes its once a rotation, sometimes its just when I hit a bump while I'm standing up, and sometimes its when I'm in a higher gear pedalling hard to accelerate. The pedals were changed from the original plastic ones to some wellgos before I got the bike. Please tell me its the pedals, and I'm not going to have to spend $200 on some decent cranks next season!! :o Let me breath a sigh of relief when I read this tomorrow after school!

Hi Kevin...

You might want to post this in the Bicycle Mechanics section...there's always good advice flying about in there. Fingers crossed it's the pedals mate!

Kevin, it sounds like you need to tighten the bolts securing your cranks to your BB.

Rich, Fubar,
You guys freaked me out! I missed Kevin of Canadas post at first, when you guys addressed "Kevin", I could not figure out how you knew my real name? :p

Cheers
