Have you looked at the bike when you are not on it, and rotate the cranks, can you ID where the sound is from this?
Are the crank arms done up, same with the pedals.
Finding creaks is very hard, if not impossible without having the bike physically with you, have you tried taking it to a bike shop?
First answer, no there is no catching of the crank. I can't access my 3rd set of gears because of another noise (chain hitting deraiilleur).
2nd, no noise when pedalling by hand (can't seem to be able to apply the same pressure though, and the bike was upside down...)
3rd crank arms are definitely done up
4th, no I haven't tried a bike shop. Will they charge a lot for a diagnosis of problems?
