Another Crank Problem

[norco01]

ok guys i did a search but to no avail

when i put pressure on the right side of my cranks,i can hear a clicking noise,it is just a long noise not seperate clicks.I dont have a clue when it comes to cranks.Im riding a 07 norco rival with Truvativ Rukiton/Howitzer cranks and a power spline BB

Please help,the noise is really starting to piss me off,because i dont have a crank puller,how much would it cost to take it to lbs and get them to regrease BB and spindle and whatnot?

cheerz

Check the following things


Make sure the crank bolts are nice and tight
Make sure theres no bends in the chainrings
(If you have the resources) Open op the bottom bracket and check for dirt/play in the bearings etc.

... very common problem ...
If you have the tools, take your cranks off and clean the spindle and the crank interfaces, then grease them up and slap 'em back on tightly. If the bike is rather new, bring it back to the shop you bought it from they should do it for you.

But it could be several other things as well, like the ones listed above.

It could be all of the above, it could be possible that the right hand bb cup has worked loose.

i replaced four sets of cranks after checked all those things once. then to have my dad say "hey is that a hairline crack in the frame?" worst day of my life
