| Mar 6 at 9:16 | comment | added | Matt | I did clean out the dirt and it is properly aligned. I don't know what an NDS cap is. However, since posting this question I was inspecting it further and (duh!) I found that part of the grinding feeling is coming from the pedal bearings; also the chain is super stretched and not sitting on the chainring properly - so no wonder there is all this grinding! I will fix these first but that's probably it... | |
| Mar 6 at 8:29 | comment | added | Warren Burton | Too much preload on the NDS cap? That only needs to be just finger tight. | |
| Mar 6 at 8:27 | comment | added | Burki | Did you install it using a tool to ensure proper alignment? And have you checked for any dirt between the cranks and the BB ? | |
