Fixed: Bottom Bracket Clicking - Advice
There's this clicking sound on cadence, but ONLY when I put weight on my cranks/pedals. When it’s on my work stand and when I turn my cranks I hear nothing. Something ****ed up on my bottom bracket? Anyone have this happen?

I had that problem, it only occurred under high power and I couldn't replicate it off the bike either, I took it to a bike shop and it turned out to be the bearings in the freehub. Strangely it sounded for all the world like it was coming from the front, so I was worried it was a cracked fork or stem initially, and never thought of checking the back - apparently this is caused by the sound reverberating throughout the (alu) frame though.

I'm currently very frustrated with my ride. I paid a huge whack at the LBS to replace a bunch of stuff including BB. And I replaced pedals. Within a month there's clicking. I think it's the pedals. But considering that the LBS put a stock BB in there ("we don't have a choice of BBs, we just have one. We're too Dutch to think someone might want quality"), I wonder if that might be the cause.
Very frustrating. Will be buying cheapy crappo pedals and investing in a pedal wrench this weekend. I figure I go through them so often I might as well have my own wrench.
