[RBW] Clicking noise -- About to lose my mind.

Anything can make a bike go click but for me it's usually one thing: the bottom bracket isn't snug enough. Grant mentioned this already and I concur. Almost every bike I've owned this has popped up, and usually right after I've installed the BB. I've even used a bit of teflon tape on really

I've had a similar noise go away when I lubed the seatpost and, if I'm not imagining things, I also once found the source either in the stem quill or the stem clamp. And don't forget your aiglets. Patrick "aiglets are not baby aigles" Moore On Fri, May 25, 2018 at 8:43 PM, Jeff Lesperance

I second the pedal swap. Many ages ago I bought a new Bridgestone XO-3 that had a click at a spot on the pedaling circle. I figured out where it was and adjusted the pedal but no go..that pedal just twarnt right and twarnt gonna git right. New pedals cured it. -- You received this message

I had a similar problem and discovered it the seat. I swore up and down that it was a pedal, crank, bottom bracket issues and it ended up being the saddle... Double, triple, and quadruple check your saddle, which may be producing a click in you downstroke at certain cadence. -- You

I'm in need of some help with an aggravating problem. Several years ago my bike developed a clicking sound. It occurs at the same spot in the crank rotation. Curiously, the click does not always happen (sometimes its sleeping), but tends to wake up most often during a climb or when I'm
