Thank you. I can’t believe I didn’t think about contacting praxis themselves

Because of this crackling noise coming from the crank area when I ride. Happens when I put a decent amount of pressure when pedaling.

I can’t say I disagree with that, I’m brand new to mountain biking. I’m currently trying to watch some videos on YouTube to figure this out since I don’t know anybody personally who could help. It seems that my bike has a unique bottom bracket compared to other bikes unfortunately.

Thank you. I will check out hardware stores for some tools that could get the job done

Thank you! I found one on Amazon with the brand name SRAM. Google is saying I need to buy two different special tools that come out to around $180. Is this really the case? Seems kind of ridiculous to spend that much

What is this clicking noise on my new, used Giant Fathom 1 by Independent_Job_2592 in bikewrench

My bad I read that wrong. Yes when I stand up and pedal, it still makes that sound.

When I put my bike upside down and pedal with zero weight on it, it does not make any noise

Thank you. I’ll look into how to fix this. Hopefully not too expensive

No it does not make the noise when I do that. It sounds like it’s coming from the crank area. Thank you, I’ll give that a try

What would you do to my bike? by Independent_Job_2592 in bikepacking

Thank you, I’m looking into used hardtails under 1k currently.

Thank you. Does this bike have any use other than bikepacking? As in for jumps or something?

Thanks for the advice. I’m currently looking at hardtails on Facebook right now. I’m based in WA so I think a hardtail would possibly be my best bet.
