Wrong diagnosis. BB30s creak because the BB axle frets within the bearing inner races. Refit it with bearing fit compound on the areas within the inner races

Thanks for video! This fixed me right up. Had an annoying creak on an f-si when climbing and getting on it hard. In taking it apart, it does seem there is more play in the chainring/crank connection than should be but locktite, lube and tightening it all down nailed it. I didn’t need to mess with the bearings other than a good cleaning and lube for slipping the spindle through. I should add this is all after the LBS failed...

Thanks! I was about to take my bike in for creaking. It was coming from the bottom bracket but didn't have the sound I heard the last time I had a BB creak. It should have dawned on me that it would be the spider ring.

thanks again - yes, i imagine it has no effect (the etched side) but for what it is worth, cannondale shows the rough side facing out - this might be incidental

thank you, excellent video.  This fixed my ongoing problem.

Your tip on the spider worked on my Cannondale fatty - thanks very much!

WHERE'S THE DRAMA! ;)

just kidding, good vid mate. I probably should do something about my creaking BB!

hi, i've tried with the green locktite for cylindric parts, i must say its a bit better but still creaking when i push verry hard. think i have to look furder for a better solution, thanks for the video!

You're the first guy i see using lock tite. I think i'll try that possible solution. I noticed that my crank axle was all scratched from the bearing assembly rotating on it so that might stop that also.

Aprilia SXV behind, I had a same motorcycle (550)

Always keep your Loctite and chain lube in a separate place

Thx mate, I think my cassette is loose. When I grab the cassette there is a slight movement under load that causes a crack which obviously goes like supersonic right to the crank system. I check the lock cap and maybe a spacer. Hope thats it. Keep it up thx !

Thanks for the tips.  Re the light gray plastic/nylon shim.  Does the rough side go on facing in or out?

I have the Cannondale Synapse 2018 with the BB30 and FSA cogs. I need to change the cogs and have never done this. I have my kt013 being delivered. Do you have a video on this or know where to go for one? Plus di you recommend a bearing replacement for a bit of extra ease of cycling?

No green at the start on BB.
But at the end there is a green colour and no explaination of it??

I poured some engine oil down inside the seat post and let it soak through the BB and out onto a rag, turning the cranks and tilting the frame left then right, creak disappeared.

I have a knocking sound coming from around there when pedalling , any idea what that might be? great video mate

Ermmm this has nothing to do with the video buh I have a carrera a the headset is out of place and my washer has snapped so is the washer causing it or something else

Good tips thanks, what torque wrench do you have ?
