Aidan97 Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 there's been a clicking noise coming from my BB area for months now and ive always assumed its my freewheel. But today after washing my bike the clicking is happening alot less so Im thinking that that couldn't of been the problem so what else could it be?

Matthew62 Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 BB's when loose can appear to give a clicking noise when pressure is put through the cranks. Tighten it up and if it still remains, well then it's not that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Yep, tighten your pedals, cranks, freewheel, bb. One at a time and ride in between, when it stops clicking you've found your culprit, but just tighten the rest anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 If it's being annoying then whip the drivetrain apart, lube it all up and fit it again - chances are it'll be a bearing somewhere just clicking a little, but grease all the threads, relube the bearings you can get to/flush things out a bit and it should shut it up!
