The nuts that you attach your cleats to on the shoe was loose and sliding forward and backward. 😀 I’m about to start blaming my knees.

love2fly Posted December 23, 2021 Share I had that issue (but when I was riding an oval chainring). My clutch was causing an intermittent tick. Some squirt on each RD pivot and was sorted. Don't think its your issue though. .I'm also leaning towards s pedal and perhaps the pedal spindle bearing has s dud ball.... ChrisF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought along the same lines. I’m not 100% sure if it is across the whole range of gears either. I did inspect the cassette for loose rivets when i serviced the freehub. Nothing obvious TheoG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it could be the nut riding the bike that is the problem. But as mentioned earlier by someone else, check the saddle/seatpost . Heck, I started getting really crazy a few months back tracking down a ticking noise that would only occur under hard efforts, i was convinced it was the BB. Turned out to be the house keys in my pocket. StevieG, Help.Me., gerriemtb and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing obvious As far as I'm aware the Sunrace cassettes are not "noisy" anyway. I had a issue with my 12sp XTR cassette when it was new but after some TLC its been quite ever since. I'm not a Sunrace fan, so you need to replace it with a Garbaruk, cant wait for next year ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewbacca Posted December 23, 2021 Share I'm so glad I am very deaf and don't wear hearing aids. I can't hear any of these little noises and only stop to fix my bike if it doesn't feel smooth or is skipping.

Previous creak was my seat rails. Carbon can squeal like a stuck pig. Scary Rider, Jewbacca and TheoG 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steady Spin Posted December 23, 2021 Share This is becoming the definitive thread for all things creaking and also the importance of hearing loss and how it relates to a happy life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
