[RBW] Squeaky bb needs to change?

Upon rotating my crank arms by hand slowly and gently backwards I hear a squeak sound like the low squak sound of rubbing a balloon until I increase the speed, then it goes away. They spin fine, no crunchy sounds. no play. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google
