Annoying clicking when rear wheel rotates

CarleyB

And only when I'm sat on it :shock:

It looks free of anything that could cause the clanking/clicking.

Any ideas?

Its once every rotation btw

Strip, lube and reassemble, in this order:

Seatpost (use carbon assembly paste if the post or frame or both are carbon)
Bottom bracket
Pedals
Rear hub

It will most likely be one of those.

My rear spokes sometimes behave like this (Campag Eurus) and just need oil at each joint to stop it

Is this bike related?

Does it happen when you're not sitting on the bike?

CarleyB

nope the wheel moves nice and freely when I am not sat on the bike...

My front wheel is 'ticking' - once per revolution - but that's both on and off the bike... looks like the disc rotor just catching. Off to youtube for some suggestions on what to do.

Does it do it when you're free-wheeling as well as pedalling?

CarleyB

yes it does do it when free-wheeling

So it's not the pedals.

And likely not the seat post as that tends to click as it flexes with your pedalling legs/hips.

It could be spokes rubbing together.
