Clicking when rear Shimano 600 brake is used?

Whenever I use the rear N600 Shimano single-pivot brake I get a clicking sound. I checked the tighteness of the mounting bolt and the brake pad holders. The harder the brake is apllied the louder tthe clicking is. Any ideas what's causing this?

Cheers

Depends on what you mean but I've had a sort of ticking sound from a
brake when there was a pit or something on my rim. Usually a rub down
with a wet stone helped.

If you have the bike on a rack and spin the wheel with the brake pressed
can you reproduce the sound?

Yes, good probability it's a rim blemish. Also see if the
arms move fore/aft from a loose centerbolt adjustment.

On the 6207 series caliper that's adjusted off the bike.
Flip the spring up out of the way, taking care not to fling
the nylon slides across the room. Oil pivots and adjust for
smooth operation with no play, lock it and then flip the
spring back into place.

If you have a spare rear wheel try with that one. If the clicking is now
gone chances are that your rim is about to go kablouie. Don't let it get
to that point, a relative did but luckily nothing bad happened except
for a loud kaboom.

I have Shimano 600 brakes on my road bike and they have never made any
noises. Except for the rubbery PHSEEEEEEEE from the front when I have to
brake hard.

You get a lot of that kablouie stuff don't you? lol. My bet would be
an easily repaired blemish on the rim or a brake adjustment as Andrew
suggested.

Most of your posts come with a "Transkate thiss message to English?" tag. It'd be nice if you'd a least make some effort to be sensible in your posts.
