bottom bracket weirdness
 

i have been plagued by a clunking sound coming from my bike for a while now, and many people have said its the b.b and it will need replacing.

this week i was going to do it myself, but i have noticed something peculiar , and that is when im out on my bike and it rains, the clunking sound from the bike goes, this has happened consistently everytime the bike gets wet , as when its dry , it sounds off.


could it be that the bb threads just need a good greasing?


if the bb was truly gone , would it not always make that sound in wet and dry?


thank you :)

dog

it may not be the BB...try some oil on your peddle bearings

ok ill do that later. thanks

funny thing happened to my wife...she kept getting a squeeking sound when she peddled which drove us nuts....turned out to be her shoe

yes

and a cleaning

Just take apart the BB and clean/grease it then do that with your pedals also. Couple times I took apart my BB to find it it was fine and my pedals were the ones making the noise.
