Ok, I got home, took of cranks and BB and regreased BB threads. Re-installed cranks, and greased pedals. Tightened everything as much as it will go, but still that damn creak when I am sprinting or out of the saddle. I can "feel" the creak in my pedals so to speak and it happens usually on the down stroke of the right foot. I have some cheap-ass pedals that came with my Windsor awhile ago that I temporarily threw on my ride until I get some nicer pedals... No way its seatpost or saddle - tightened the hell out of them. Also tightened quill.

Two questions:

1.) Could cheap-o pedals cause a creak?

2.) Also I tightened the hell out of the fixing bolts that screw into my BB spindle. As tight as I could. This seemed to help a little, but cant over-tightening these bolts be bad for the BB?

Thanks guys this creak is driving me to madness!
