knocking crank
I have a knocking crank (the bike I bought sat for 15 years) and I am thinking about switching the bottom bracket to a campy and get a campy crank. am I getting in over my head? how hard of a swap would this be, I am pretty handy with tools

that should cover a lot of it.
causes of a knocking crank is probably just a loose screw where the arm and BB meet. either that or it's the pedal.

It may just be loose? And or needs to be greased. Not sure what type of crank/ BB set up you have but check the crank bolts first. Then consider pulling the crank and BB to clean and lube. Not hard at all.
