  1. left my bike in storage, just getting it out now to go have some fun (in winter in the Uk i must be
    menkal), yet its making all sorts of clinking and creeking noises as i ride it, is there a online
    advice guide anywhere so i can try and sort it out without resorting to taking it back to my LBS for
    him to tighten a few screws and empty me of my beer tokens??

    many thanks

  2. I always find cleaning both bottom bracket pins (the square "bolts" where the bottom bracket joins
    to the crank) sorts "creeks" out, another trick I have got is to use some resin, (just a tiny amount
    mixed with hardener) wiped on the faces of the BB pin on all four sides. Let it go tacky and then
    tighten everything up. When you want to get everything apart again just use your crank puller.

    You will need a tool to get your cranks off but it is worth having.

    Cheers, Tom
