Questions and answers
The right crank arm makes a noise while I pedal. It is a grinding or clanking sound. I changed the pedal but the sound is still there. It is not the seat since when I stand I hear the sound. However, when I turn the pedal by my hand there is no sound. It is definitely on the right side.
