Floydian Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Is it normal? It's clear I'm very new to this and my understanding of bikes at all is very limited but when I peddal there is a couple of clicks coming from my cranks. It's not a concern but should it be? Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks guys Is your chain loose? it might be clicking because of the chain skipping, if its loose then tighten it. Or your bb might be creaking, so take it out and grease the threads on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floydian Posted August 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 It's brand new it should be well greased shouldn't it? I wouldn't know how to take that apart if I'm honest anyway haha. Also chain seems pretty tight. I will try pitting it a bit tighter and see how I get on, thank you. Putting it sorry not pitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skunky_bifta Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 (edited) Try taking the crank arms off and putting grease on the bottom bracket that you can see, see if that works. You would probably need a bottom bracked tool to take the bb out, you can get them off tarty (under tools i think) depending on which bb you have got. Maybe spray a lil WD40 GT85 kinda stuff in there if not, if all else fails, use the bit of electrical tape round the bottom bracket and put the crank arms back on over that trick.
