jimmycool Posted April 6, 2017 Share add a grain of sand down the seat tube and pedal = tick tick tickYup. I was convinced once that my bb was about to explode in to a million pieces. Turns out a simple wipe of the seat tube was all that was needed! Sent from my SM-A520F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrikkieMeyer87 Posted May 8, 2017 Share Cover up the sound of the annoying tick by shrieking at the top of your lungs just before it occurs. Winning comment in my twisted realm of humor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myveonix Posted May 8, 2017 Share Recently worked on a bike with clicking symptom. Turned out to be some looseness in this area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted May 8, 2017 Share check the state of the BB. Is there any play to the BB?Take the chain off the chainrings and slowly cycle the crank with your hands to feel for any roughness or pitted areas. My commuter started ticking recently and over time the tick became louder and a bit scarier ..... new BB = silent bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalahari Vegmot Posted May 8, 2017 Share Good advice given here. Make sure to check that your derailleur hanger is perfectly straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUTLER Posted May 8, 2017 Share Hi if you are running 2x or 3x system check your cable end at your front deraileur might be that the end is catching the crankarm as it comes around.Simple but sometimes that will make a tick tick sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
