the cl-ick is driving me crazy!`
Last summer, I knew that my Look pedals had a bad bearing. So, when I
started hearing the cl-ick every time my right leg was fully extended, I assumed it was the darned pedal. I decided to try Speedplay Zeros. Imagine my surprise when I put the new pedals on and the cl-ick didn't go away! So, then, I tightened the seat post bolt. I tightened the saddle bolt. I tightened the pedals and the cleats on my shoes. Still the cl-ick with every revolution. It doesn't make the noise when I put the bike on a stand. Today, I rode a 100K with that annoying click. I tried some experiments on the way. If I didn't have my right foot in the pedal, I didn't get the cl-ick sound. If I coasted, I didn't get the cl-ick sound. If I stood up and pedaled, I didn't get the cl-ick sound. Could it be the bottom bracket? I guess I'll get the tools and take it apart and have a look. My hunch is that it is the saddle, somehow...like maybe one of the rails is moving. It's a Terry Liberator Y, for what that's worth. The rails seem tight. Has anyone had this problem and figured it out or do I just have to live with it? Pat in TX |

Last time I had a seat-area click, a drop of lube where the saddle's rails are fastened to its body fixed it, but I only found that after pulling the seatpost apart and greasing everything else first, since that's fixed it in the past. Try the lube first, since that only takes a few seconds :-) -- bpo gallery at http://www4.tpgi.com.au/users/mvw1/bpo |
