Kreaky cranks??
Ok so when I put force on my cranks the kinda creak. Now I know this is normal for old cranks or just bad cranks, but im running 3 month old truvative hollzfellers
. So whats up??...Im thinking maybe its cuz of my old crappy performance brand "stomp" pedals, could they be the collbrate??

No its not the chain ring bolts.
You should tighten the bottom bracket (or crank whatever). See if that helps! If it does not, take off your pedals, lube them, place them back on tight. If the creak is still there it will be your bottom bracket...most likley you will need to remove it, clean it, re-lube it and install again and tighten firmly.

Pull everything off . Grease the bb threads,crank bolts threads and the ends of the bb spindle. Then do it again.
