Diagnose Ominous Sound
I have an old Univega mountain bike. It's recently started making these kind of cracking or knocking sounds when I'm pedaling, especially when I'm pushing hard. Since I can feel something through the cranks that corresponds to the sounds I'm assuming the problem is somewhere in the crank assembly. I cannot see anything visibly hitting anything else, nor can I see any cracks. Could it be the bearings? Any other ideas?

Does it seem to be associated with a particular side of the bike? It could be an issue with a pedal rather than the bottom bracket.
