I'd been pondering a drivetrain noise on the Macchiato for awhile. I wasn't looking forward to tearing down both bottom brackets and readjusting the belt tension during reassembly, so I kept putting off chasing the noise. However, greasing the pedal threads is a 10 minute job, so I did it and *BOOM*, noise was fixed.
