Bottom bracket wear?

Hello all, Ive done less than 2000k, (probably 1500) on my 2004 Rincon and the bottom bracket is starting to clunk with each rotation. When I grab the cranks and give them a heave there is definately movement in the BB. Is that right after these sort of kilometers? Im not a gun downhiller or really fast, most of those k's are commuting I would have thought it had an easy life.

It may be more likely that the cranks aren't torqued properly.

Yeah, assuming it is not loose.

Right first time big red, took it to lbs and they tightened the bb retainer and all is well although they tell me I have been beating the living s**t out of it! Thanks to all.😄
