    So that old recurring problem: creaks and squeaks in the bottom bracket area.

    Probably looking for sympathy as much as advice:

    Once my bike warms up (or I do), I have a click or double click on every crank revolution. It stops when I stop pedaling and occurs at the same pedal position on every revolution. Hence I have concluded it is pedal/bottom bracket/chainset problem rather than wheels or drive train.

    Took pedals off – greased everything put them back on. Noise recurred (it also occurs when I unclip and pedal with just one leg on either side).

    Took cranks off, removed BB, greased everything put it back together: Noise.

    Repeated above, fitting a new Dura Ace bottom bracket: Just the same noise.

    Nothing catches (e.g Front mech wire), chainset bolts are tight.

    It is so annoying!!! Any other suggestions (pretty sure it is not my knees)??!! I think I may go mad.

    I run SPD SL pedals and have a slight click on each rotation, as the pedal gets past 45 degrees – something loose inside the pedal body which is no big deal. Hopefully it’s this not the bottom bracket..

    Not saddle or seatpost – same whether standing or seated.

    Nope – I can unclip on either left or right and pedal one legged ….. noise exactly the same.

    My summer bike’s got that problem too. No idea what it is… getting a new frame next year so I wonder if it’ll recurr?
