OK, I'm starting to go mad with this one - any advice appreciated!
About 4-6 weeks ago I started getting a metallic clunk that felt like it was through the left pedal, whenever I applied power at about the 2-3 o'clock position. It doesn't happen as often when I'm cruising, but it does very occassionally. It's not a squeak or rattle, but a definite clunk - which I can "make" go away by pedalling backwards for a revolution or two, weirdly. But it will always return the next time I hit a hill/accelerate.
So far, in an attempt to eliminate what it might be, I've replaced my pedals & BB, and completely stripped the whole crank set & cleaned it all up. I've re-greased it all as I put it all back together again, but it still persists.
Any other things I should check out? Is it possible over-tightening bolts (given that I started off thinking it was something coming loose, so I've definitely been keen to make sure everything is tight).
I'm going insane!!!!
