Removed and cleaned both, greased and fitted solved it. Looks like the hanger can be the culprit as well. Painting the bike with a grease brush later.

love2fly Posted December 26, 2021 Share As a last resort....I had a cracked (Shimano) jockey wheel. Used to make the occasional click. Drove me mad tracing that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steady Spin Posted December 26, 2021 Share Well, just stripped the rear end and relubed and torqued the axles, hanger, and stripped and cleaned the derailleur including a thorough inspection. Trails are a bit soggy so Ill do a road test later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steady Spin Posted December 26, 2021 Share I will ride it until whatever clicks breaks and then replace it. Gatvol. Ps. Who is the best mechanic in the north of GP? Centurion, PTA area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spafsack Posted December 26, 2021 Share Got a similar problem 😟 I turned the plastic turn dial left then right, tighter, on the left crank. What is this dial? 😳😁Scott RC 900 WC Should it be tight at all times, seems this took the weird creek noise away. Steady Spin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steady Spin Posted December 26, 2021 Share I’m going to try and rig a gopro to it pointing at the rear wheel. Maybe that will pick it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIPSLICK Posted December 26, 2021 Share Have had a similar noise eventually removed the thru axle, surgically cleaned it, proper fastened it, sorted yes, the bike went into LBS my mate made me ride in circles said I know what it is climb off he fastened the thru axle it was better he said ok stop, cleaned it Sorted stripped cleaned a bit of graphite grease done that and check your saddle is not cracked as suggested above nothing worse than that **** when you on a climb and all you hear is tick tick tick Steady Spin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steady Spin Posted December 26, 2021 Share Thanks Mr Dips. I did the axle surgery today. Degrease axle. Used Park Tool ASC on the threads, Polylube on the shaft, and fibergrip on any surface where metal meets carbon. Did the same for the derailleur hanger. I’m dreaming maybe but it sounded like it clicked less on the ride. Less angry. Tomorrow I’ll do some work on the dropper post and saddle. Highly doubt it is there since I can feel the click through the pedals. (not the pedals, tried a different set) Then… swopping wheels with the Stumpjumper to rule out my entire wheel.

Wont make me feel the click through my pedals and will creak differently. Had that problem before and it easy to identify by flexing the saddle with your hands. Also won’t click when standing.

Going trough the poplar forest is getting very bad and so is John’s trail. I did a quick 10k to test. First part of #2 and then onto #3 through BRB and then the last 10km but skipping John’s Trail. Finish just after the first half of Hallelujah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steady Spin Posted December 29, 2021 Share Isolated the clunk to my rear wheel. Switched wheels with the lady and it made the noise on her bike. Sounds almost dead on in the middle of the cassette so I’m suspecting a freewheel that is dying or the inner bearings being the culprits.
