BB/crank woes
A couple weeks back, I noticed some creaking from my bottom bracket region. After I greased my chain, it seemed to disappear(maybe some grease got in there) and everything seemed solid. Alas, riding today, there seems to be give of about 1 inch when I go from backpedaling to forward motion. Does that make sense?
Now, I have neither tools nor know-how to get in there, and I cant get to a bike shop for a few days. And I gotta ride tom. and Friday. Is this dangerous? Any thoughts? Thanks

My reccomendation is not to ride AT ALL on this unless you have a brake...if there is a chance that your drivetrain could "GO"...and you have no brake...you're essentially dead..so if you're riding with a brake just be careful...and if not...put one on, or take the bus for a couple days.

Thanks guys, I ride a brake. I'll be fine. How well my wallet fare? Adjustment or new parts?
