So... During a ride the other weekend I noticed a very occasional creak coming from the bottom bracket of my fratello. My chainset is campy ultratorque so when I got home I gave it a little crank with a torque wrench to about 45-50nm roughly. Did the dun run at the weekend and the creak was still there. Albeit slightly reduced. I had a quick look around the BB area and saw this tiny hairline mark in the paint. I am now paranoid that it's a crack. It's due a strip down and rebuild and I almost certainly need new bearings for the crankset and the pedals need a strip and regrease. The creak could be coming from multiple places, but it that's an actual crack what are the chances of it being repairable?
