I spent last night screwing and fiddling with the MTB to see if I could isolate this creaking problem. The vevarm was not terribly tight and when I did tighten it the opposite screw usually loosened a bit. So I probably have uneven wear on the bottom bracket which would explain another noise. I should have the BB today and my new stem will be here early next week.

Obviously I have decided to DNS Farrisrunden which is a shame. But I need to fix everything. I can't just ride it despite obvious problems. No more short cuts. I need to be able to trust the silly thing. At the moment it has problems during every ride.

Kanskecrossen is tonight AND the usual MTB training. But I am not even going to get my hopes up for making it by 18.00. I do have the next 3 days off though so that will mean a fair bit of cross and a KanskeMTB depending on delivery times.
