another for the 'click click' files
My commuting bike has been making some noises lately. Deferred
maintance, largely, but you know how it is. I've gotten most of them, but the today it started to make a new clicky noise. Not quite a a click, more like a plastic bag being crumpled, but only a click duration of it. Not pedal rotation related, more speed related; I thought it probably had something to do with the fresh oil I'd inadvertantly riddent through this morning, but when I put it up on the stand tonight, I discovered one of the rear tire's reflective strips was coming undone. It was stickng out enough that it could hit on of the stays, sometimes. Sliced it off with a razor knife, and no more click. I did manage to spill one pedal's ball bearings on the floor, and couldn't find them all. Bah. -- sig 116 |

My 'huh. sounds like a plastic bag under my mudguard' always turns out to be a puncture. Your commuter pedal will probably run fine short one. My commuter pedals seem to die of 'forced into curb' or 'slide on concrete' more than actual wear. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |

The amount of corrosion on the spindle was more concerning, actually. -- sig 59 |

My commuter pedals seem to die of 'forced into curb' or 'slide on concrete' more than actual wear. One annoying sound that puzzled me for a while was a loud, intermittent squeak. This was back when our Bikes Friday were new. I'd installed Planet Bike fenders. They came with a safety feature, a plastic collet on the fenders that connected to each fender stay. They're supposed to allow for easy adjustment of the effective stay length. Plus they're supposed to pull free if a stick gets sucked into the fender, preventing the fender from jamming and locking up the wheel. But the collets are pretty thick, maybe 10mm or so. And the Schwalbe tires have straight-knurled dynamo tracks. Turns out when a bump was just right, the fender would flex so the inside edge of the collet touched the dynamo track, generating an amazingly loud squeak. Multiple adjustments gave no permanent solution. I eventually filed down the inner face of the collet. Some day I'll probably fabricate my own stays out of stainless steel welding rod, making them one continuous loop around the back of each fender. -- - Frank Krygowski |
