Ticking noise how to peg it down
Ok put on the new 11 speed chain shimano with used Wippermann Connex. Drivetrain runs fine but notice a tick when I pedal, no tick when not pedaling. It seems to click sometimes but at other times no noise. Thinking it was my Wippermann Connex having been used for two chains I got a new 11 speed Wippermann Connex and put it on.
Well same result the click sound is still present. It seems to not be from the from front derailleur. It appears the click happens in fast succession so chain does not make one complete revolution. I cannot duplicate the tick on the stand if I pedal the cranks on the repair stand it sounds perfect. Clearly this is not a big issue but I really do not like the clicks even though they are no really loud, just were not that way before putting on new chain. What is the best approach pin this puppy down. Deacon Mark |

Clearly this is not a big issue but I really do not like the clicks even though they are no really loud, just were not that way before putting on new chain. What is the best approach pin this puppy down. The frequency of the clicks (that is, number of clicks per minute) can be a big clue. Is it closer to wheel rotation speed (maybe 150 to 200 clicks per minute), or to crank rotation speed (70 to 100), or to chain rotation speed (maybe 40 clicks per minute)? If the latter, perhaps you could put the bike on the workstand and find a way to pedal _not_ freely, but against resistance. Use a strap to apply the rear brake a bit; or hold back on the wheel with one hand while you turn the cranks with the other. Maybe put the bike on the ground and pedal it forward very slowly while you apply a brake. See if the click corresponds to a certain position of the chain, and then watch the links passing through the derailleur pulleys and over the cogs. Also, flex each link by hand. If it clicks in sync with wheel rotation, check out each spoke. Flex for tightness checks, be sure there are no clicks at the crosses. If it syncs with crank rotation, good luck! So many things can make noise in response to pedal pressure. Check crank bearings (you might pull the chain to do that), check pedal tightness, check chainring bolts and any other fasteners in your crankset. But also check your handlebar clamp, your stem clamps, your seatpost, etc. Lube the surfaced of your pedals where they contact your shoes. Heck, I have a saddle that sometimes squeaks in sync with my pedaling - then stops after a while. Very frustrating. I assume you're not riding with fenders, racks, bags or other accessories that might make noise. But if you are, check all those for tightness. Again: Good luck! -- - Frank Krygowski |

Put the bike on rollers, get an automotive stethoscope, get on and pedal, have an assistant point the tube of the stethoscope in various directions to see where the click is coming from. dkl |

So today on a 71 mile ride it did not make a sound all is back as it was, my guess is just putting the wheel back in and out would have done it, but you never know for sure. Deacon Mark |

I don't notice it day by day, until one day I realize it's really difficult to clamp things properly. Then I open it, lube it, and all is fine again. - Frank Krygowski |
