Re: [RBW] Re: Clicking From Crank Area
+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!

Re: [RBW] Re: Clicking From Crank Area
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 link can hit on the bash guard and make an annoying clicking sound. If that is the problem, simply remove the master link and put it in with the clip on the inside. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Re: [RBW] Re: Clicking From Crank Area
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 and clicks once per crank revolution, particularly when I am standing and pulling back strongly on the pedal. I knew from the start what it was, so the noise did not trouble me. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Re: [RBW] Re: Clicking From Crank Area
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 regreased. 2. Second one had me removing and reinstalling: - cranks - pedals - chainring - bottom bracket - saddle all to no avail - finally, standing next to the bike I pushed/pulled/shook/rocked and poked everything I could, and I seemed to be able to reproduced a click by rocking the saddle back and forth with quite a bit of pressure, though I reproduced the problem with multiple saddles so I pulled the seatpost and re/over-lubed it and reinstalled it and the clicking went away.

Re: [RBW] Re: Clicking From Crank Area
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, after much grief and anguish, I finally traced a troublesome clicking to the stem clamp. My '03 Riv still clicks occasionally, alternated with squeaks -- it's the saddle in the rails, I'm pretty sure, but as it comes and goes, it doesn't last long enough for me to fret about it enough to fix it.
