On my dad's bike, the FSA Team Issue crankset makes a slight rattling noise when its tapped in the stand. This rattling noise goes away if the non-driveside retaining bolt is loosened slightly.

For those without this crankset, loosening the bolt will eventually start to pull the crank off of the bottom bracket. I *could* leave the bolt slightly unscrewed, but i think that would be dangerous. Any suggestions?

Here's a pic of the crankset-

Try a different material crank bolt, or maybe just some anit-sieze or grease between the bolt and crank surfaces

Actually, it was the little screw-on vanity FSA cap on the non-drive side that was rattling. I greased that bad boy up and now its smooooth! Thanks for mentioning grease, that's what got my brain going.
