+1 on checking the chain. Last time an annoying click turned out to be a link
in my chain, it took out my rear derailleur when it popped. Hard way to find
out. Check those links!

This is a vital and important question.
Its timeliness is timeless.
Shoelaces got me on several occasions.
Then, the need for a new chain,
Then I had an issue with a freewheel (thus hiding the tick).
I will now check the pedals and follow the above instructions.
Thank you all for your
OK, I just had a brain flash of what your problem could be! Since it's a
single speed I assume you running a single speed chain!? Many SS chains use a
master link, sometimes the master link can stick out slightly on one side, then
if you also have a chain ring bash guard sometimes the master
One even more arcane possibility, very unlikely but just in case, one which
I experienced just the other day: loose cleat or other metal bits on your
shoes. I installed an adaptor plate on my road Sidis, leaving the original
SPD attachments loose. On one shoe -- left, IIRC -- this sometimes moves
Last time I had this problem I thought the bottom bracket was going.
Talked to Riv and they suggested taking off the crank arms, cleaning them
out and then applying grease (like Phil Wood grease) to the hole or taper
before reinstalling. Worked like a charm. They also suggested that just
I had a mystery click like that one time. Turned out to be the saddle
clamp. It was one of those with two bolts, left and right. One bolt wasn't
torqued quite right. Now I use a torque wrench on saddle bolts, too.

One more random possibility to add to the list, which has plagued me in the
past. Fits with the "one click per revolution" description:
If I understand correctly, you are using two chainrings. Are there any
rivets or screws on your largest ring? If it has a pin on the outside,

I wonder if it's slop in your SS freewheel. When I had my PX-10 switched
to SS I found the shimano SS freewheel was kinda sloppy and noisy with the
clicking you described; tightening didn't seem to work. I got a WI ENO and
voila...silent and silky smooth. Maybe that solution is a little
Go ahead and snug up all the bolts on the frame including any bottle cages.
Loose bolts anywhere on the bike can cause a clicking noise. It is very hard to
find where the sound is coming from.

Thanks for all of your responses! Lot's of stuff to try. To answer Bill's
questions:
1. If I had to categorize it, I would definitely describe it as more of a
click.
2. Good question. I will have to ride it tonight to determine. But
definitely not random.
3. Very good question. Most
I had a simalar click recently from my rear wheel. I tried acof the above
suggestions to no avail. It eventually went away when I replaced my chain and
freewheel, despite that neither could logically have been the culprit since it
clicked whether I was pedalling or not. Good luck.

I am currently wrestling with a similar problem on my Atlantis and I agree it's
a matter of working through possible culprits one at a time.
I changed several things, not specifically because of the clicking, but because
the problem remained I was able to rule out cassette, saddle & seatpost. I
There are about a dozen things that can make noise when you pedal. In my
opinion, the best approach is to change one thing at a time to narrow down
the list. Also, on the front end, I have three questions. Two are
objective and one is more of a personality-test question
1. Is it a 'click'
I've dealt with this twice recently and the first had a standard, expected
source, the second was quite confounding - both had similar characteristics
as you described.
1. First, easy fix, turned out to be pedal bearings that I simply repacked
- no new bearings, just removed, cleaned and
FD cable end getting hit by crank arm at every revolution?

when i had this problem, it was a couple chainring bolts that were not
quite tight enough.

What pedals are you using...could be a matter of repacking them if you use
MKS pedals

I had this issue and like you, it about drove me nuts!! I think I
disassembled and checked the crankset and bottom bracket a half dozen
times. Finally, in desperation, I took off the right pedal, greased it and
put it back on and it was fixed. If someone had offered me a million

Shoelaces in particular. Not too long ago I began to hear a clicking with
each crank revolution, and I thought, "Oh, no, something is finally going
wrong with the Phil bb (getting on for 11K miles, *and* with ti spindle and
aluminum cups). Nope: sloppy shoelace tying with long laces.
Longer ago,
My clicks like that have all been pedal bearing related... but you want to
rule out shoelaces and pannier cords first!
