Mark W Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Strip, re-grease, tighten It'll probably be either your BB loose in your frame, or cranks a little loose on your BB. Grease and tighten and it'll most likely go away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onzatrip Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 It may be the bearings in the rear hub. Check those as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bike_dummie Posted July 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 (edited) I have re-greased and re- tightened everything and checked the bearings they seem smooth yet the wheel wobbles slightly , but the click is still there. could loose spokes cause this as it seems to come from the back wheel?

gage-mann Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 could be the new chain? my mates trial-tech lite chain did it for a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirt jumper jake Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 checked the bearings they seem smooth yet the wheel wobbles slightly , strip the hub and check everything. were the bearings hard to get out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piperfraz Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Does the wheel have cones?If it does then tighten them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bike_dummie Posted July 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 pretty sure its not the chain, as I brought the new chain to see if it was the previous chain making the noise. The hub has sealed bearings but thanks for the input. If I strip the rear hub will everything be re-usable if its all ok as I cant afford the new axle and bearings at the moment? Thanks, Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piperfraz Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Try and wiggle the spokes to see if they are loose. Check that your frame isn't cracked. Have you done the axle bolts up fully? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 The bearings in my Rockman BUB hub blew up on the DJ Portsmouth ride! Was riding about with it going 'click click click clunk...' Spent a few quid on some new bearings, got them in, and it's been fine since! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bike_dummie Posted July 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 I have got some 6000 bearings on order Will it be ok to ride while I wait for the bearings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bike_dummie Posted July 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 hi, got some new bearings fitted yet it is still making the noise? I am starting to think the noise will not go away so should i worry about it or carry on how it is? Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pure Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Got this exact problem, mainly when I bunny hop or side hop I get a click/tink fromt he BB/crank area, but if spring up and down off of the cranks they click too... 4 week old BB and 2 week old cranks all well greased and tightened! However my rear wheel is also "wobbling" But the noise come's from the front. The rear wheel hub makes a knocking noise when I spin the rear wheel in the air freely!!! PS - my last BB broke when the noise started to creak rather than click... Go careful, I managed to snap the BB bolt/axle clean in two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
