Clicking noise

Hi Folks,
This is annoying the hell outta me....whenever i get out the saddle on me carbon bike theres a click on the right handside when the pedal stroke is at 3 through to 6. the pedals and cleats seem ok as do the chainbolts, although i 'm useless when it comes to fixing bikes. Anyone any thoughts or experienced this before???
cheers

Will you post the clicks?

TBH it's very difficult to diagnose mechanical issues online especially without a video of this happening. It could be anything including one of your knees making the sound.

You need to either post a video (which will still be tough to diagnose, just a tad easier) or start to narrow things down. Have you tested for any play in the bottom bracket? I would start there and if that is okay we move to the next thing.

Or....just stay in yer saddle :-0

Dibs on one click if you split.

Edit. I already have one click non drive side so need and pair.

pretty sure i saw your clicks on ebay, check rule 3

Hi, would you trade for a high pitched whistling?

Blatant Troll. This is just Click-Bait

if you don't get an answer here i don't think you ever will

cracked frame
pedals
cranks
saddle
bb
chainring bolts

are the main culprits

dicki
thanks

Easy fix. Play music. Creak gone.

First and easiest thing to do: RE-TIGHTEN YOUR REAR SKEWER

Mine ended up being fixed by replacing my freehub bearings.

This.

mine was the frame: More of a sickening creeeeak than a click

Edit: ignore, too big for me.

Definitely this - I solved this on a past bike by swapping the flimsy ti skewers for some proper Shimano steel ones and tightening them up nice and solid, hey presto no more click.

Well I tried seat post skewers pedals and checked chain bolts and still the click, so will take chain bolts off tomorrow degrease etc etc if that doesn’t work the BB
Then jump off highest building!!!

I reckon BB ... had to change at least 3 on bikes I bought, some from here too, so could be some LFGSS clicking virus

Pedal spindle tight? Cleats on shoes tight? Shoe ratchet good? I once chased a creak that turned out to be dirty saddle rails. Could be anywhere. Frames reverberate, hunches will betray you.

I just came back from diagnosing a clicking sound on my bike. It was driving me nuts. Every time I went out of saddle and rocked the bike left and right, the damn click was there.

First I thought it was the 2-bolt stem that I had on the bike previously. I actually managed to recreate the sound when I twisted the handlebars when the bike was stationary, so I blamed it on the stem design, and even the bolts coming loose.

I put the 4-bolt stem on the bike and the sound disappeared for a while, but it returned soon. I blamed it on the stem bolts coming loose. (I have this issue with stem bolts coming loose, although torqued properly). After retightening the stem bolts, the click was still there, although now it appeared to originate from somewhere on the bottom of the bike.

Again, I tinkered with the stem, tightened the headset a bit, tightened the cranks, reinstalled the chainring and regreased chainring bolts, cleaned the chain and sprocket. I even suspected that the valve was rattling agains the valve hole when the wheel was leaning left and right. The click was still there, mostly at the bottom of the pedal stroke when out of the saddle.

So I thought I should try with the seatpost, and bingo! I removed the seatpost and tested, as usual, by riding around my yard out of the saddle with rocking the bike left and right. The click was gone.

It appears that since the seatpost was very deep in the frame, when the frame was flexing the seatpost was rubbing against the inside of the seat tube or something like that. It was a seatpost I installed recently, and it was longer than the ones I used before. I returned the old seatpost, and so far so good, or at least I hope so, since I am yet to test it on the road.

Unlikely 3rd dibs.

Worked on a bike w few months back with a clicking somewhere in or near the drivetrain. Took a few hours to work out it was the transparent plastic height indicator on the new Shimano front mech. It was a full carbon bike and only seemed to catch under the weight of its rather robust owner.
