So, I thought I had this resolved, and I've made some progress, but I've got a 1x Evosid crankset on a new gravel build and it's functionally almost perfect, the *one* issue is that when I put power into the pedals there's a.. almost tensioned-feeling.. creak/click. Some observations as I've worked on it:
- I feel it through my pedals and into my shoe.
- It's almost exclusively left side, but I have observed it on the right side.
- It's specifically at the.. call it 10 o'clock stroke of the left pedal when the power is being exerted *forward* and down.
- It almost feels like it clicks forward, then releases back when I lay off the pedal or pedal backwards.
- It's not regular, and takes quite a bit of power (think a 230lb dude going up a 5% grade and increasing cadence)
- But when it happens, it happens consistently.
I've tightened the crankarms down, without having a 50+nm torquewrench, I don't want to overtighten, but I have a feeling it's just a matter of getting those threads snug?
I've pulled the BB out, checked the bearings, listened for any indicator there, and nothing doing there.
My hunch is it's in the interface of the internal crankarm and the spindle - anyone seen/solved something like this before?
