I recently had a super annoying click on my the titanium bike I'll be riding at RAGBRAI. I reconnected the pedal with lots grease and still have the issue. I didn't think the sealed bearing Shimano SPD pedals were the culprit.
I mentioned this to a rather nice mechanic, who asked me it it was clicking when I was standing off the saddle, and I said no. So we thought it might be the Brooks B-17 saddle I use, it being all floppy and such with the missing middle. So I tightened the leather on it and the clicking remained. Turns out, it was the seatpost connection that was doing the clicking. Something about the titanium on the Thompson seatpost, or the seatpost connection itself. Slathered everything up with some (mountains of) grease and the clicking is now gone.
