so - my genesis flyer (currently running SS on a Halo Clickster freewheel) has started making a horrid clicking and creaking noise whenever any power is put down - you can feel the creak through both feet and its quite loud. it started after being off the bike for a few weeks.
the chain isn't particularly worn, but the freewheel cog teeth are (I have a new one on order) the spider bolts are secure, the cranks have no play, and the BB spins smoothly with the chain off - ive had a good look at the freewheel and it seems okay, spinning freely and everything.
I dont have a freewheel tool so cant get the thing off, I DO have a white industries freewheel on order, which should arrive in a couple of days...an lbs will put it on for a few dollars...
..my main concern is, could I have missed anything? does that clicking/creaking sound like dying freewheel bearings?
thanks!
