Thinking back over the last 6 months or so I do seem to remember an occasional "tink" sort of sound and feel in the downward stroke of the right crank. Could this have been a tell tale sign of the crank cracking ever so little bit more? I couldn't think of anything else in that area of the drive train that would cause this. Bottom bracket, chain ring bolts, etc. were all buttoned up nice & tidy.
