I've had this problem ever since I've got the bike, but its really starting to annoy me now. Every time I pedal, either to accelerate or climb, theres a creaky/clicky sort of sound coming from the bb/crank sort of area. the sound is really hard to describe; not quite creaky but it is if you see what i mean.

its not the bb, thats new, the pedals/cranks are greased and tight, the whole drivetrain has been stripped and cleaned, its not seatpost creak, there are no crack/breaks in the frame, and im at a complete loss as to what it can be. does anyone know? the only other thing i can think of is the cranks (2001 XT) or the pivot bearings. can anyone shed some light on this?

many thanks!
I said hit the brakes not the tree!!
