does it always happen when you're pedaling, or are there time that your bike is fully quiet while pedaling?
actually i think i misunderstood. It doesn't happen when you have your bike flipped to the freewheel? is that what you mean?
I'm curious because on my freewheel bike I get a strange continual clacking noise when i'm pedaling coming from the rear wheel. Only when pedaling. and even stranger, if i coast for a second and then pedal again, it goes away. Seems like it has to do with where exactly the pawls are engaged when i'm pedaling, and a quick coast moves to a new position. It's really very strange, but not loud enough to truly bother me.
