Had a crack at that a few weeks ago. Got up some bits alrightYou could ride up the track instead... junction is two way.
What BB?Took the chain off to isolate the cranks and it is indeed the crankset that's the cause of the bumping feeling! The 8mm hex bolt was a bit loose but even with tightening it was still bumping a bit.
If I spin the crank arms 180 degrees then push down on both arms, I feel the bump (how the fuck do you describe a really short movement?). Spin again and rest, same bump.
I wonder if the bearing pre-loader could do with some tightening? Other than that or using the seatpost breaker to really tighten up the cranks, I'm out of ideas.
Shimano MT800What BB?
Been so long, I'm a rookie again.
The bottom bracket shell face is out of alignment. I had the same issue on my dj bike with a brand new bsa30 bb. Get the bb shell chased and faced.Took the chain off to isolate the cranks and it is indeed the crankset that's the cause of the bumping feeling!

Definitely not easy, and I haven't conquered all of it, but good for some pinchy climb skills. Probably not one to try on a weekend though.Had a crack at that a few weeks ago. Got up some bits alright

Do they run on a hexagonal axle? Sounds like you’ve munted it to me.
Mmm how does one bugger them up?Do they run on a hexagonal axle? Sounds like you’ve munted it to me.

Ride with the bolt loose for an undisclosed amount of time.Mmm how does one bugger them up?
Also, compounded by cranks most likely made of cheese.Ride with the bolt loose for an undisclosed amount of time.
Yeah fair enough, they're fairly well know for being shite.Also, compounded by cranks most likely made of cheese.
Maybe purely because of the cheese, and not being able to take your ample frame.
Yeah, crank the bolt up, check it before you go out each ride. If the knocking gets worse, keep an eye on it. Not likely to get a catastrophic failure.Yeah fair enough, they're fairly well know for being shite.
Will I be ok riding them for the next few weeks?
Hopefully my Aeffect R cranks fare better!
I'll likely throw them in the recycling when I'm done. They're just not worth the effort.Yeah, crank the bolt up, check it before you go out each ride. If the knocking gets worse, keep an eye on it. Not likely to get a catastrophic failure.
From the Suntour reviews..I'll likely throw them in the recycling when I'm done. They're just not worth the effort.
