I have recently noticed a clicking noise while pedalling on my bike. It seems like it is coming from below me. It happens when I put power down and is in sync with my pedalling. The more power I put down the louder it gets. It is happening at several points of the rotation on the down stroke. Happens on both sides but I get more clicks on the right hand side down stroke.
It is definitely not the pedals. Checked that is wasn't the gear cables rubbing on the frame. Nothing is making contact with any other part which I can tell. I have made sure everything is tight. The only things left which I reckon it could be are the frame, crankset or bb (which is only a month old).
The frame is steel so I'm worried there might be a crack or something in the bb area? Nothing I can see though.
Anything else I should try before I consider taking the cranks and bb out and reinstalling?
