Hi Henry,

It's probably something simple and easily fixable - though it's surprisingly hard to pinpoint the source of such noises so don't be sure it's the crank until you've either foun the problem or eliminated all other potential sources.

Hi Biondino,

thanks for the link.

I presume you have checked the bottom bracket is not loose? Is the ticking there when you pedal and disappear when you freewheel?
