BradJohnson Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 (edited) I have a clicking noise coming from my, BB/crank area (left side) it only happens when i put a lot of pressure on it when im at a stand still. I have changed the crank and pedals so its not that, im thinking its the BB. I'm going to take it out during the week and grease it up and make sure its tight. If that doesn't sort it i'll buy a new BB. Which one should i get, i'm debating between the, echo/trialtech and neon carbon fibre. Which would you's recommend for an onza pro 10. Thanks.

Matthew_Gibson Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 from personally upgrade to ISIS mate. there's more surface area in contact with the cranks. less chance of rounding them off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piperfraz Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 Mine made that kind of noise for a while. You should just have to put a little grease on the threads. (Although I didn't know this, bought a Trialtech one and it seems fine). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 It's probably just loose. If it's a 'clicking' then it's usually just loose. If it's a 'banging' then it's usually the actual bearings themselves, in which case it's new BB time. Same thing for any weird noise like that though - just strip, clean, re-grease, re-assemble and 99% of the time it'll go away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silferme Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 I had similar sound some time back and tightening fixed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradJohnson Posted August 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 I'll give my bike a service during the week and grease and tighten the bb, thanks for you help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
number1spark Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 do you have a sealed bearing bb or loose bearing bb? i have had similar problems in the past with both types of bb. i found that if you have a sealed more modern style of bb the clicking is usualy bearings giving way.some times you can just replace the sealed bearings. if you have an older bb then it could well be the bearings just need a sevice and tighten.

BradJohnson Posted August 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 I have serviced the bb, it seemed fine, im pretty sure its the freewheel that packing up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
