I wonder if it's slop in your SS freewheel. When I had my PX-10 switched to SS I found the shimano SS freewheel was kinda sloppy and noisy with the clicking you described; tightening didn't seem to work. I got a WI ENO and voila...silent and silky smooth. Maybe that solution is a little expensive and drastic, though, but that's what finally worked for me
