[RBW] Re: Pedal Stroke "Click"

[Deacon Patrick]

Good call guys. Mine are VP Vice, but they are on my list to do sometime 
this year. They are new as of September and working flawlessly at the 
moment. I'll probably service the MKS pedals on the others' bikes first.

With abandon,
Patrick

Agreed, could not believe how little grease there was in my mks pedals when
I took the cap off after some grumbling from the bearings.

You should grease the pedals anyway, for preventative maintenance.  MKS are 
notorious for not having much grease in them off the shelf.

Those who said "Saddle!" win partial points, but ultimately we were all 
off. Rivet Saddles have a "bridge" rivet tying the two sides of the saddle 
together (rather than lacing). Well, the metal rivets on the bottom of that 
wonderful bridge were clicking into the top of my Nitto S83 seat post with 
nearly every pedal stroke. 

I put a piece of rubber between the metal bits and wrapped them with velcro 
tape and it’s all quiet now. Whew.

Tune in next time when we explore the next mysterious noise emerging from 
your bike! (Cue erie music) Remember! The noise is inside, just looking for

Hey Patrick - I met to respond regarding your click but got distracted (not a 
surprise). I had a similar experience while riding the STP (Seattle to 
Portland) last year and the guy I happened to be riding alongside, he was on a 
Riv, said that it often is a seat issue. Sure enough when I got home the next 
morning, I tightened the seat clamp and the noise went away.
This has happened once since then and the same cure worked.

[RBW] Re: Pedal Stroke "Click"

[Deacon Patrick]

Well I had a grand laugh at myself on today's ride. I kept trying to 
pinpoint the source of the "click." Shifting forward, back, left, right. 
Good thing I'm on remote dirt roads! Grin. The laugh came when I remembered 
that my brain doesn't process sound directionality with any accuracy at 
all. Sometimes lack of memory leads to dumber things than other times. I 
couldn't stop laughing at my foolishness for at least 30 minutes. Grin.

So the plan is to grease the pedals once grease arrives this week. I'll be 
swapping the bottom bracket anyway. I may never isolate what the sours is, 
but I sure hope I solve it. Thanks for all the input!

Patrick

Re: [RBW] Re: Pedal Stroke "Click"

Yes, I'm barefoot at 35˚F and up and have been on rides when I heard it, so 
barring toe nail tinging, I can eliminate foot/wear as the source. Grin.

I think you pedal barefoot, but just in case, one more: one day I heard a
similar noise and discovered it was a too-long shoe lace end striking the
left chainstay with its "aglet", the plastic wrap at the end of the lace.

Re: [RBW] Re: Pedal Stroke "Click"

[WETH]

Patrick,
I was going to mention, in addition to all the other helpful and possible 
sources shared already, that it could be a strap.  I have a strap from a 
Saddle Sack that clicks when it hits my fender and only when I pedal.  It 
took me a while to diagnose the source of the sound.
Good luck,
Erl

I'm pretty sure I flipped the pedals, but not positive. Could be a saddle

[RBW] Re: Pedal Stroke "Click"

[Anton Tutter]

Deacon, I know you're sensitive to noises and I can imagine this is extra 
annoying to you.

Are your pedals double-sided?  Meaning, if clipless, can you clip in on 
either side of the pedal?  (Moot point if you're using regular pedal 
platforms, they're by default double-sided)

Make note of which side of the pedal your foot is on when the clicking is 
happening. Then flip the pedal 180 degrees and continue pedaling with your 
foot on the other side of the pedal.  Does the click go away? If it does, 
then it's definitely the pedal.  This has happened to me.  It was caused by 
an improperly adjusted pretension on the pedal bearings. A quick 1/8th turn 
of the adjuster cone did the trick.

If the click does not go away, it doesn't rule out the pedal.  But it also 
leaves open other possible sources of the noise. Someone else mentioned 
saddle-- that's also a possibility. Check that the rails are clamped 
tightly to the seatpost.  I've also had that cause a rhythmic clicking 
sound.  I also agree with a previous comment about the bottom bracket.

It could also be the drive-side crank arm improperly torqued onto the 
bottom bracket spindle.

Anton

[RBW] Re: Pedal Stroke "Click"

[doc]

Most likely you have to grease the pedals, however if they have the 
plastic reflector inserts, make sure that they haven't worn out and are now 
loose in their mounts; and while probably not applicable in your case, make 
sure the hard plastic end on your shoe laces aren't bouncing off the 
downtube.

[IanA]

What BB is installed?  The Shimano ones often have a plastic non-drive side 
cup.  These do split and sometimes are just fine like that, but sometimes 
they will cause a click.  Like Patrick Moore said, it could also simply be 
that the cup has worked loose.

This happened to me with brand-new pedals years ago. These were

Probably the pedals, I seem to be re-greasing my MKS touring pedals every 6

me in a panic though but turned into an easy fix.

I had a similar click/creak. I pulled the crank arms, greased and reinstalled. 
Solved. 
Silent again,
Edwin

I had a similar issue, it was the rubber on the back of my shoes clipping
the bowed out chainstays on the bombadil. But I imagine barefoot you would
be able to feel that happening. Took me a bit to figure it out. Mystery
sounds are the worst, hopefully the rabbit hole won't be that deep. Good
luck!

I have had an annoying click/creak a few times - once it was my saddle.  That 
makes the creak sound like it's coming from the bottom bracket. Another was a 
problem w the bottom bracket itself.  Those are the only 2 I can remember 
finding the answer to!

Double check chain links, you may have a tight one. Also chainring teeth.
One or two might be bent a bit.

Cheers,

Och! I hope it's not the pedals. They're new as of September last year. 
They are rebuildable though, being VP Vice. That is a good first place to 
start. Thanks!

With abandon,
Patrick
