Re: [RBW] Pedal click driving me batty

[Will Rhea]

Thanks Alex! Always a good idea.

Yeah, I've got Silver triple cranks on this bike, nice and snug. I check
them periodically, nothing worse / more preventable than rounding out the
inside of the arm from being too loose

There’s an entire section at the Harris Cyclery/Sheldon Brown web site about

Re: [RBW] Pedal click driving me batty

[Alex Wirth- Owner, Yellow Haus Bicycles]

Since it’s such a quick thing to check off the list...try to snug up your crank 
arm bolts.  I had waited about a month because I was dreading a bottom bracket 
rebuild after getting a click.  Low and behold I got away with a snug-up on my 
drive-side on a whim.

I know you said it’s isolated to your pedals but I still think it’s worth a 
shot...

Good luck! Clicks can be the worst.

Alex

Thanks Dan! Gripster rebuild kit just ordered, I bet that'll do it.

Don't want that annoying click going on when I head to the NorCal "Entmoot"
campout weekend after next

I would definitely try the bearing service on the gripsters. I chased a click 
on my bike for quite a while and finally swapped in a set of RMX pedals I had 
stashed away for the grinpsters. Click gone. 

Reminds me to pick up a rebuild kit.

Thanks Ian! I'll keep this in mind.

Looks like they have a Thin Gripster bearing / rebuild kit on the Riv site,
I'm going to go ahead and try that for now.

[RBW] Pedal click driving me batty

If using a Shimano sealed bottom bracket with the plastic spacer, check the 
spacer is not cracked. A cracked spacer can cause a rhythmic click.

Re: [RBW] Pedal click driving me batty

['Eric Norris' via RBW Owners Bunch]

In my experience, this is a bearing issue 100% of the time. I run Crank Bro’s 
in all my bikes, and have become adept at rebuilding them to correct this.

[RBW] Pedal click driving me batty

[Bill Rhea]

Reaching out in case y'all have any remedies for this phenomena...

So many times I've used a pair of pedals for a while, and then they start 
making a little click 1x per pedals stroke, usually when putting pressure 
on the RH pedal. I'm pretty sure I've isolated the click to the pedals 
themselves, throwing on a new pair and the clicking ceases.

Pedals where I've experienced this phenomena (going back historically):

Sealed-bearing types:
Thin gripsters (
https://www.rivbike.com/collections/pedals/products/thin-gripster-pedals-dark-grey-vp-001
)
Velo Orange Sabot pedals (
https://velo-orange.com/collections/pedals/products/grand-cru-sabot-pedals)

Traditional bearing / cone type:
MKS Sneaker pedals (
https://www.rivbike.com/collections/pedals/products/mks-rmx-sneaker-pedals)
MKS Touring pedals

I don't have access to a bench vise otherwise I would have just cleaned and 
re-packed the loose ball ones.  I suppose I could get a new bearing set for 
the Sabot pedals (which I'll likely try).

Am I missing something else that could be causing this click? Open to 
hearing any possible remedies for this, short of exorcism

Thanks (in advance),
