After getting some help with the disc brakes, (some help is a laughable excuse for "had a mechanic install and adjust") on my Raleigh XXIX, I asked more than one mechanic about a knocking on the crank arm. After a brief inspection and a little intuition, the consensus was re-greasing the Egg Beater pedals. The nice thing about them is they clip in and out well, are easy cleared of dirt, snow and mud, have a warranty and also come with instructions.
I peppered the mechanic with questions anyway...then waited 36 hours before finding the instructions and getting on with it. Compared to disc brakes, the re-greasing was not overly complicated. I also managed to actually ride a little today, and took a couple pictures of Minnehaha Falls. I've been in a state of lethargy and "active recovery" since the Birkebeiner, and even a short ride on a nice day was kind of epic.
