BikePot's Bottom Bracket replaced

I was hearing squeaks every time I pedal BikePot; And, besides, her crankset's clattering.

Yesterday, when I arrived home from my biking, I brought her to the nearest bike shop. The diagnosis - damaged bottom bracket. So, I had it replaced. The shop recommended a sealed bearing type.

It's now very smooth to pedal BikePot. I also had her brakes adjusted. The total cost of the part is P350.00. The labor's free.

Noises while pedaling

While pedaling on some gears, I was hearing rythmic noises. On my ride last Saturday, the noises got louder and occurred on all gears.

Hence, on my way home along Commonwealth Avenue in Fairview, I passed by the local bike store and had my bike diagnosed and fixed.

The culprit - the bottom bracket had loosened. When it was tightened, the noises were gone.
