So for starters, I am new here. I've had an account for a while to post this problem but haven't done it until now, so here goes
I have a Claud Butler mountain bike which I've altered for road use (slick tyres). A problem arose at the start of this year, where there is a clicking sound from that area when even a little pressure is appled to the pedals. I've replaced the bottom bracket (shimano) but there's still this noise.
A new noise appeared this week, a croaking on each rotation of the crank. This noise appears no matter what, so it sounds like me to be the bottom bracket, but I have no clue. It could be that the pedal arms have tightened too much aswell.
Can anyone please give me ideas as to what this is? I cannot use my bike until this is sorted, I feel it's damaging something...
Thankyou
