I ended up on the thread due to my stock 2014 p2 with 400 miles starting to have a crank noise (like a ticking sound on the down stroke) It started on my last ride and I can't consistently make it happen but it comes and goes and is frustrating/annoying. I purchased the bike new last december and I wouldn't think a new bike should have an issue like this. After reading all the posts I have two questions:

Did you get your issue resolved?

Will continuing to ride damage the frame or bottom bracket?

I am not avoiding the issue, but I am currently 3 hours away from my LBS due to summer work. I will take it back to them where I purchased the P2 due to the fact they need to make it right and I lack the tools to reinstall.

Thanks for taking the time to read all this!!


I have that bike, and I think I had that same problem. It was driving me crazy. It almost sounded like a ball was running around the bearing. I removed the crank, carefully pulled the seal off the bearing and smeared as much marine grease into the bearing as I could, reset the seal, and no problems 2 years later. Maybe worth a try if you feel comfortable enough removing a crank.
