Got my back yesterday. Rear tire replaced and middle chain ring replaced along with all my bearings greased, gears nicely indexed, two new spokes, brakes bled and wheels re-trued.

Fitted my new pedals when I got home, first thing I did. There are a little harder to clip out of then my last pair, but am sure with enough time there will loosen up, and before any one asks I have changed tension screw as far as it will go.

But over all the bikes running nicely now lets see how long it lasts till I break something again,

Definitely looking forward to getting back on the trails.

I have been getting this knocking noise when I pedal for a while and I have not really done anything about it until it started getting worse. So on Friday, I decided I’ve had enough.

I have asked a few people of what the problem could be. I was 90% sure it was my bottom bracket as that’s where the sound seemed to come from.

Most of the people I asked said it sounded like a loose bottom bracket and is most likely to be that but I should try to eliminate the other possibilities first, such as the pedals or crank.

Not knowing how to remove the bottom bracket, as I have never done it before and not having all tools, I asked Matthew to give me a hand.
