Definitely agree that it totally matters though.



The bb is a bit old, but everything looks pristine--it's driving me nuts! There's a sharp creak on the downstroke under heavy pedaling and I've ruled out absolutely everything else: Different bb on the same bike--no problem. Same crankset on a different bb--no problem. Different crankset on the same bb--CREEEEEEEAAAAKKKK!!!!
