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

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.
