I just finished building my bike, so all the parts (except for the frame) are new. Starting the first time I was on the bike, the left crank clicks. It clicks once when I start to pedal hard and then makes no noise at all until I backpedal to slow down, then it clicks again. I can't figure out what it is. It only happens on the left side and it is an italian threaded bottom bracket.
Things I've considered or tried to fix the problem: (i read a bunch of threads on here and got these ideas)
-I tightened the pedal and crank bolts. No change
-I read this (http://www.sheldonbrown.com/creaks.html), but nothing really sounds like the same problem I am having
- I don't think it's the bearings as many threads suggested since this is all brand new stuff.
Any ideas??? Thanks!
