FSA crank with ISIS FSA bottom bracket creaks
Hi all,
I have an FSA crank and FSA bottom bracket. I grease EVERYTHING including crank bolts. I have a torque wrench and got the bolts to spec. The bike did not creak with campy record cranks. I actually reinstalled the campy cranks just to do a sanity check. Any suggestions HELP!!!!! Cheers Brad |

Try tightening the pedals, or grease the threads on the pedals and then tighten them. Also, the FSA BB cups have rubber seals that seat over the bearing cartridges. If they are not firmly seated, you will get play, and possibly creaking, in the BB. See if there is any play in the BB (try rocking the crank arms), and if there is, remove the cups and grease the inner surface and then snug them back up. If you have the Ti bottom bracket, be sure to use the Ti anti-seize compound that comes with it. If all else fails, call customer service. -- Jay Beattie. |
