Sure. I know where the noise is coming from now. I just wonder how likely it is that there could be damage to the crankarm... maybe as a result of a minor accident I had about a year ago... that I sort of forgot about... in which I tried to squeeze between a parked car and a parked snow plow and maybe got my left pedal hung up on the plow and maybe went over the handlebars...
