Had a little tumble yesterday...
...and the bike landed on the drive side pedal. The crank is slightly tilted from the impact, so the chainline goes in and out by about a half millimeter. Also there is now a creak when I mash up a hill, but only on the non-drive side pedal. Which seems odd to me.
Is this something to worry about? I have a 600K brevet coming up next weekend.

I would take both cranks off and reinstall. That at least give the chance to fix it self.

Shimano UN-55 bottom brackets are around $20. If you have the tools and can get the original out, that might be one way to go. I've been meaning to get a dial indicator rig to check run-out on the various bearing and spindles that populate my world (not just bikes)
of course you just might need to snugg up the left crank bolt.

Hoping it’s nothing major and you get it sorted out.
