Ben John-Hynes Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Wrong forum? Tighten the crank. Tighten the BB. Tighten the pedal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwarf Shortage Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Take your cranks out, grease 'em up, and do the same to your bb and pedal threads. If that doesn't sort it, post here http://www.bmx-forum.co.uk/forum/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexthelyons Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 From my experiance, new bearings. Bmx forum isn't that great, it's full of dicks that give new people loads of shit then complain you didn't search even if you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leistonbmx Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 When buying a new bike you should check all the bolts and grease everything. They're only assembled in a factory so they aren't all checked perfect. As for bmx forum, lol. Its the same as this forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter221ti Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 sometimes the sprocket on brand new bmx bikes is not seated properly against the crank and so as you pedal the chain doesn't engage properly making a click. Check its runs true hope that helped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
