downhill_rob2@hotmail.com Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 Hi people, Theres a weird sound coming from my bottom bracket area, every half rotation, there seams to be a loud click just 1 click though, not loads like if my cranks are loose (Y) (Y) :- i think my BB might be a little bit loose, i dont know though. Suggestions on what it might be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brisa Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 Have had a clicky noise when my pedals (v8's) have been slightly loose. Worth checking them maybe. Just check around the bb cups too, see if they have any threads showing and if you can take the crank off and see if they're tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Garland Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 Last time I had a 1 click I ignored it, then 3 weeks later take out bb, and well there was nothing left all bearings blown up, the yellow case bit fell off, cracked the axle etc I can go get a piccy of whats left if youy want. I would say check the BB as it sounds like dead bearings. Bearing in mind that mine was ISIS if its sq. taper might be a crack in the axle rather than bearings.

gilly Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 (edited) It's possible that it could be your freewheel, if your running a front one? Check that its tight (Y) Edited July 17, 2005 by gilly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Garland Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 Yea depending on your set-up go through everypart near the bb area one by one eliminating them from the clicking noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But theres a massixe gap between the BB cup and BB shell il get a pic now :D EDIT: just looked at freewheel and its god damn loose.... very loose!!!

downhill_rob2@hotmail.com Posted July 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 I used to have it REALLY bad in my old frame, took all the BB apart and greased it all up, still creaked, checked the frame, still creaked (BTW this wasnt just a quiet creak! it was very very loud!!) then i took my T-mag (sealed) rear hub apart and put some grease in the middle of the hub and round the bearings, it stopped creaking (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
