Nasty Sound Coming From Freewheel, Chain Area


Recommended Posts

Hi,

About a week and a bit ago a nasty sqwelching noise started coming from my bb, freewheel or chain and I dont have a clue what it is, loose bottom bracket?

Sounds stupid but it actualy sounds like when you have a really wet shoe when your walking along, I also run granny chains, but never used to make this nosie.

Your best bet is to just take it apart, clean everything and grease it up again. Usually, it's just that you need to grease the tapers/spindle on your cranks and BB, but if that doesn't stop it just try taking your BB out, putting a bit of grease near the ends of the threads, then slip it back in and do it up tight. That'll usually do the job (Y)

You said it could be my cranks rounded...no i dont think so as i never ever let my cranks run loose and they dont wobble one bit, it actualy does sound like a dry chain, i'll go lube it.

Just found out it only creaks when the freewheel enganges, im guesing its just a knackerd freewheel?

Not necessicarily, It could just do with a service, Just clean it all out etc.
