I have this chain set on my Orange 5, and noticed a "pinking" last night in my cranks when I stood out of my saddle and pushed hard on the cranks. Is this the first sign that my bottom bracket is on its way out ? Shame, cos I haven't done that many miles on it as yet....
If so, can I use the same removal tool I use for my XT HT II Cranks and any suggestions as to which BB I should use next time ???
😕

Finally! Someone else with the same problem!

I've tried everything on mine, BB, bolts, pedals all to no avail.

I've deveided that it's the bonded join between the non-driveside crank arm and axle, as it only happens at teh left side when loading and unloading the cranks.

No idea of a cure though, sorry...

i had a similar noise - turned out to be the cables tapping together when i pedalled because of the slight suspension bob.

Sometimes the cable ferrule on the end of my front mech catches on the crank arm then 'pings' against the frame
