Enjoying my time on my SuperSix when I noticed some noise...mainly a click, random, and when they do happen the sounds are spaced apart by a about half a second to a second. I know that sounds travel through frames like crazy, but would would be the best place to look? They only started after I installed aerobars, a new cassette and chain, and a garmin mount.
Sound seems to be coming from the fork/stem area. It's a different click to when I had to adjust the preload on my ksyriums, this sound is lighter as if something is half cracked or something.
Thoughts?
Edit: can make the noise happen by leaning on both sides of the handlebar, and moving my weight from side to side. Clicking seems to be coming from bottom headset bearing. Time to pull the fork and see what's happening and reinstall.
Edit 2: Pulled entire fork, greased all metal to metal contact patches...i.e. just the lower bearing to crown and put it all back together and retorqued. Clicking gone! Now onto the next sounds.
