I'd <a href="http://bicycletutor.com/overhaul-wheel-bearings/" rel="nofollow">crack it open</a> and take a look. Yeah Taylor, unfortunately it sounds like there is something wrong in your hub.

Oh yeah, I like to beat my bike down a little bit. When I do what you said I hear a “tock” type sound every rotation, is that bad? Oh yeah, I like to beat my bike down a little bit.

If that didn't work and your cranks are installed properly it's probably best to take it down to the shop. They might even be able to diagnose it for free so you can fix it yourself. Let me know how it goes! Hi Adam,

I think BB is loose or maybe it's worn out. I removed cranks for washing my bike but didn't touch the BB so maybe I didn't screw it back properly or maybe did it too tight, although I tried to make it same way as it was before. Will probably go to my local bikeshop to get that thing fixed. Hi Alex,

Give it a try and let me know how if that works. Hi Adam,

So this mainly happens when a pressure is applied. Could BB be bit loose ? I don't think those are pedals. Got shimano 105 group on my bike. Hi Alex,
