Gear Talk / Possible Crankset Worries

« on: September 01, 2006, 01:12:30 am »

We are new to cycling on a regular basis, and to overcome our pace differences we have purchased a Tandem.  We have put a couple hundred miles on the bike in the nine months we have owned it. (We LOVE IT by the way!)  Lately, I have begun to hear noises in the lower portion of the bike.  I believe the noises are coming from the crankset, the front and possibly both.  The noises are "creaks and snaps" and not a constant grinding.  Could the bearings in the crankset be going bad already?  Is it going to be a tough job to find the correct bearings to rebuild the bearings if they are?
