no.one.knows Posted August 3, 2008 Posted August 3, 2008 Ok, here is my problem, my mavic back wheel, is making a click-click noise when i pedal, by the cassette body. Its been to 11 different mechanics so far, problem not fixed. they say it doesn't cause problems. thats ok, but its just bloody annoying. Does ANYONE have the answer to solve this. please help me out.
turtlek Posted August 3, 2008 Posted August 3, 2008 mine is also doing it check the dust caps and then make sure the cones are not too tight or too loose mine have only just started but i have got this info from a very reliable source
no.one.knows Posted August 3, 2008 Author Posted August 3, 2008 had a full service done on them, all that was replaced and double checked. still the noise.
KlapperKnop Posted August 3, 2008 Posted August 3, 2008 nok ... is this under load? or just normal pedalling? is not possibly a spoke tension? is the cassette tight on the hubbody? no crack spacers? is the axle not damage? (this you could easily see on the cones if it is rubbing more on a certain spot)
turtlek Posted August 3, 2008 Posted August 3, 2008 mine only happened when climbing and sprinting no one knows also check that your skewer is tight enough when installing it
no.one.knows Posted August 3, 2008 Author Posted August 3, 2008 ya all that is ok. skewer is tight. ya it is under load, like turtlek said, most happens when climbing and sprinting
KlapperKnop Posted August 3, 2008 Posted August 3, 2008 nok ... this may sound weird, but what type of cranks do you use? If it is chainrings with bolts; make sure that they are as tight as can be ... KlapperKnop2008-08-03 13:33:09
turtlek Posted August 3, 2008 Posted August 3, 2008 i am going to take my wheels out tomorrow and do some trouble shooting and see if i can help you out
turtlek Posted August 3, 2008 Posted August 3, 2008 good point also check your headset!!!!! and saddle post
KlapperKnop Posted August 3, 2008 Posted August 3, 2008 headset you will hear from the headset and when climbing out of the saddle .... saddle noises you hear when climbing as slow speeds (especially on the saddles rails)
turtlek Posted August 3, 2008 Posted August 3, 2008 fair enough but headset noises when at speed sound like they coming from the back
KlapperKnop Posted August 3, 2008 Posted August 3, 2008 nok have you tried another wheelset? and is the noise then gone?
no.one.knows Posted August 3, 2008 Author Posted August 3, 2008 ya, mt training wheels dont make the noise so crank is fine, headset is fine and so is saddle. will take them apart tonite and see if i can fine any cracks in spacers or anything like that. rim and spokes should be fine, they have all just been replaced, and the noise happened before these got replaced. thanks turtlek, will also pull mine apart and hopefully we can sort it out.
turtlek Posted August 3, 2008 Posted August 3, 2008 dude before you start stripping i just had a brainwave check theat your valve extensions are secure and dont move around too freely that could be the clicking noise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and do they also make noise on rough tar????????turtlek2008-08-03 13:56:03
HOPC Posted August 3, 2008 Posted August 3, 2008 i also had a noise wit my bike that sounds like it the same as yours..... it prob your skewer or your head set..... those are the most common
