Bad BB/headset bearing?
Hi All,
Would a bad BB bearing cause a tick/creak? Only does this when out of the saddle and pulling on the bars. I've cleaned and re-greased the headset bearings and all the stem bolts and it still happens so that kinda rules out the cockpit. BB is a praxis conversion that I had installed in order to use a Shimano crank. It was fine for a while so I'm wondering if the BB itself went bad. I've had it pulled and reinstalled...no change. When climbing and pulling on the bars I can relax my pull on the bar and it doesnt go away in the least which still points to the BB. Pedals re-greased, it's not the saddle or seatpost and headset checked as well. There aint much else to look at but the BB. What are the odds its defective?
