Subtle clunk when applying pressure to cranks.
When accelerating the bike from a stop, there's a VERY slight clunk or feel of a bit of looseness coming from the crank. I've tried tightening the crank bolts and it's still there. Ideas?

Check your chainring bolts. A time or two I've had bolts loosen enough that the chainring will shift just a little in a rotary fashion.

Could also be that your chain tension has a tight spot.
