Royce Leaker Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 I have a Titan Sport 650b, only had it for less than 2 months but there seems to be a clicking coming from the crank every time I pedal ? Any solutions? its super annoying...
Stretched@Birth Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Check that the end of your front deraileur cable is tucker away and not touching the crank on every turn. worriesnot 1
Royce Leaker Posted January 28, 2014 Author Posted January 28, 2014 Check that the end of your front deraileur cable is tucker away and not touching the crank on every turn. Doesn't seem to be that, its a more 'solid' click..
Brian Fantana Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 I struggled with a clicking sound from my crank before. It was a slightly loose pedal with dry thread. I applied copper slip to the threads and tightened them. Problem solved. Pure Savage and Karakoram 2
Brian Fantana Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 There are a few other possibilities: Chainring boltsShoe/pedal interfaceLoose crank arm boltDry bb thread Clicking sounds are usually caused by a dry or slightly loose interfaces. Process of elimination.

itscraig Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 every time I have had a clicking sound from the crank area it has been the pedals, I take them off and clean and grease them then the clicking is gone. if you have another set of pedals, fit them and test it that way.
WezGK Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 I have a 3 month old titan 29er elite with same problem... stripped, lubed, still there... may just need a replacement bb... original one seems a bit plasticy anyways. ..
Longbarn Killer Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 I consider myself pretty good when it comes to bike mechanics, but I've been caught twice with a clicking crank. Both times I went into a bike shop to have the bb replaced (as I thought this was the problem). Both times the bike shop proved me wrong. The one time it was the headset bearing that needed lube and the other time a slightly loose saddle. Each time I pushed on the pedal it caused one of these things to move (and click) and the sound resonated down the tubes to the crank area. What I'm saying is, it could be anything.

ChUkKy Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 I have a mate whos bike also made a click, we always said it was his hip How old are you? hahaha, jokes aside... it could be a worn BB
WezGK Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 So... replaced my bb tonight... Shimano XT bb @R280.. not high end but did the trick... no more clicking... not a sound!
