Bbox Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Replace it with Campagnolo There is a whole list of things it could be.... Try the search function, it worked for me.
Vetseun Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Jiss I know how you feel. It drives you mad. Start with the BB, grease and refit, grease crank set and refit, service your pedals, grease the threads and refit, remove your chain rings, grease and refit.Check your cleats, if doesnt help start searching else where for the problem. Sometimes it sounds like the bb but is actually the seat post... etc. Goodluck, and keep calm
The Drongo Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Could be your BB, ceasingRear freehub bearings, pawls.Cranks loose.
Vetseun Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Oh ja, check your rear wheel bearings and spokes. F@ckit its your bike and its already driving me mad!! How must you feel.
Zula Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 My guess is the pedals I had the same problem with my MTB, as soon as I sttop up and gave power ''creak/click' Make sure the lock nuts on the pedals are well tight
covie Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 I got that same crap, first got a squeeking noise, then greased the crank arms and the squeeking went away only to be replaced by this clicking noise. Its @#$@#$@ing horribly irritating.
Face Plant Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 does the sound go away when you stop peddling? if so i would say have your BB checked
cyborg Posted February 10, 2011 Author Posted February 10, 2011 thanx guys.seems like i gonna have to start a hit list and go thru it one at a time.thanx again
Pomstar Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 hi guys been struggling to cure clicking/knuckle cracking sound on my sram red drive train..replaced chain,cassette and had service BUT sound always there as soon as i lay on the power,,HELP Check if the BB is loose or has play on it. That is usually the problem.If not, then check the chainring bolts, they might be loose. Remove them and oil them when putting back.Seat post clamp and Seat clamp may also need tightening...
Christopher Brunsdon Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Had a horrible clicking noise last week, then monday it was gone but it I could feel something was not lekker. Came from my old pedals so I ordered new ons from CRC Then this morning I felt extreme float on my pedals (CRC order is still another week away from delivery) ... to my horror I saw it was my crank arm bolt was not tight and the play was on the arm
andretraut Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Also had a bad experience with Red, to the point where I considered Dura Ace. Chain kept on dropping on a brand new groupset, then discovered two semi loose chainwheel bolts. Problem solved. This did'nt cause any tell-tale noise, but it is worth checking your bolts.
Willehond Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 I often get a clicking noise and in the beginning I took it to the LBS who even lubed the BB again and in the end I found out it was the rear skewer that wasn't tight enough! Just tightening it removed the click and I could have sworn the sound came from the pedals or cranks. Honestly, it could be anything from skewer/pedals/cassette/cranks/saddle/seatpost/BB. Good luck...
TNT1 Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Honestly, it could be anything from skewer/pedals/cassette/cranks/saddle/seatpost/BB. Good luck... add headset, bar/stem, and chainring grub screws to the list. They have all been culprits in the past.
Bram_on_Madone Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Have you ever ridden the groupset without the noise? I know a few guys that replaced the red casette with Dura-Ace, as the former is inherently noisy as its cast in one piece.
