I have an old rossin with Da 7400 parts. Drive like a dream, first summer with it. Just started creaking and there is some some play drive side of the crankset. I am big. 6'4 225. My drive home is all uphill. I'm hoping I didn't do irreversible damage. Please speculate that I didn't and what I should do to fix it.
I just ordered a basic bike mech tool kit from nashbar and a bench mount bike stand. Here goes nothing.
A bike mech I met at the bar last night said my bearings might be.... Smooshed?
