Hello 👋🏻

sorry this will be a common post I believe but I’m going mad!!

Creek on the power strokes.. both pedals..

i have a brand new B.B. and I have two new ones and they both do it.

they are to the correct torque

live replaced the bearings in my pedals and also swapped out for other pedal - it’s still there..

the crank bolt is at the correct torque - still there...

im going mad 😒

Help me please 😂

I have a hard tail MTB - and it’s definitely coming from the crank area... 😫

Chainring bolts being loose would be my bet

Incorrect pre-load on your ankle bolts

I had this and replacing my chain ring (narrow wide one) solved it. I had a new chain and cassette but hadn't change the chain ring thinking that it was ok. It may have been more of a graunch sound than a cream but I'd swapped bb and pedals first too.
