Rapunzel Posted August 25, 2013 Share I've just reassembled my carbon hardtail after a respray and it's now making a ticking noise (once or twice per pedal revolution). It only does this under load and it's not the saddle or seatpost as it does it when I'm out of the saddle as well. I've checked the bb and crank bolt (Sram X7) to make sure they're tight and greased all threads before assembling.What else could it be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtbrider Posted August 25, 2013 Share I would suggest checking your pedals. That sorted out my ticking noice. Fit a old or other pair and go for a ride. Reg Lizard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RexFuzzle Posted August 25, 2013 Share How did you check the BB? Both bearings smooth all the way around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwissVan Posted August 25, 2013 Share Check your chain, maybe its got a stiff link and its clicking as it goes thru the jockey or cassette...especialy if you used the shimano drive pin type connetion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koukie Posted August 26, 2013 Share Back quick release, make sure its tight and maybe put some grease or copperslip (if you have) in there as well. Edited August 26, 2013 by koukie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rapunzel Posted August 26, 2013 Share You guys are awesome Went through the first few suggestions and it appears that the pedals are the culprit. Will put the bike through it's paces before the day is out to make sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vetseun Posted August 26, 2013 Share When the dreaded tick starts, I run to my bike mechanic. He somehow finds it and terminates it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
