My ageing Raleigh commuting bike has developed a clunking noise coming from around my bottom bracket usually more noticeable when I'm climbing a hill and on the right hand side. I was told I needed to undo the retaining ring thingy by tapping it with a screw driver then giving the inner ring with small holes around it (yeah I know a photo would have helped) a few taps to tighten it before tightening the retaining ring again. I tried this a couple of times and last time in doing so I even chipped bits from the end of my screwy so I reckon it's pretty tight, but I still I hear/feel this knocking as if there is a bit of play down there somewhere. Cranks are well tight no play there.
Help please, before I do more with my hammer than tap the end of my screwy????
