Velo Racer Posted October 29, 2013 Share HI All I need some help. I have a clicking sound when I pedal hard on my left crank. When I spin normally the sound is not there. Only when I pedal hard. Anybody have an idea what it could be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F.C Posted October 29, 2013 Share I had the same sound when I pedal hard but the sound was actually coming from my bb,my lbs told me that its from grit and water getting in the bb and when I pedal hard I experience the same thing , solution took my crank and bb off clean and greased it up and was good to go sound gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chro Mo Posted October 29, 2013 Share Personal experience : BB bearings. Had the exact same issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salty Posted October 29, 2013 Share I am getting the same thing on my spinning bike. Do you think it is BB or equiv....I am guessing it has one, have not pulled it apart...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike Mob Posted October 29, 2013 Share I'm going with Chainring bolts... Bobbo_SA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbo_SA Posted October 29, 2013 Share Other option is your left pedal's bearings are shot, depending on the make and model you may be able to service them and replace the bearings. Salty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velo Racer Posted October 29, 2013 Share aha. thanks guys. I think I'll take it off this afternoon and clean it. Hopefully it just needs a clean/grease and not a whole new bearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
divernick Posted October 29, 2013 Share What cranks and BB do you have? Some initial guesses to a solution:remove pedals and grease threads and re-assembleremove BB, grease threads and reassemble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velo Racer Posted October 29, 2013 Share The sound is definitely not coming from the pedal. Sound is coming from the BB. Anybody have an idea of what a new BB would cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chro Mo Posted October 29, 2013 Share 250 and up to obscene amounts. What type is it? External/Square taper/splined etc. That will determine cost as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F.C Posted October 29, 2013 Share I paid for a new bb gxp for my sram red crank 250 at chris willemse a few months back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velo Racer Posted October 29, 2013 Share Uhhmmm. Im quite new to cycling so I dont know much about the parts. The bike has Tiagra groupset on if that makes a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velo Racer Posted October 29, 2013 Share Ok. R250 is not bad. The way bike parts are priced I was expecting R1000 plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chro Mo Posted October 29, 2013 Share New? If so, it will be hollowtech II If a good few years old, hollowtech I Either will set you back around R250 or so for the lower range ones. Either way, you will need specialised tools to extract the cranks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
