Bit if strange one, unsure of what this could be but yesterday my left pedal developed a click on the power stroke, Not all the time mind.

Any ideas? sorry to be vague

    Bearings.
    Something catching.
    Knees.

    Knees could be a good shout. I will have to have a closer inspection to see if anything stands out. I would hope its not bearings can't have done 200 miles on the thing. but you never know

    Catching the front mech cable end with your foot/leg etc.

    I'd check all those strange little things before dis-assembling any bearings

    Could also be the Bottom Bracket and not the pedal.

    Had that same click on my Nanos a few months back. They were around a year old at the time. Stripped and serviced them with the kit from Superstar and all was fine and have been fine for the 6 months since. To be honest the bearings looked fine so just a clean and lube would have probably worked okay.

    I've also had bearings go on a few week old set of V8s before so I wouldn't totally rule it out but you should also look at the BB and even the saddle clamp (if you're sitting)

    You may think it strange but also check your saddle / seatpost

    I was convinced onr of my pedals had developed play/a click. No amount of servicing sorted them. Turned out to be the bb. Pedals are fine!

    Cheers for all your suggestions guys, hopefully I will get a chance to look at this in more detail tomorrow night. i'll check everything is tight before resorting to striping BB's etc.

    Thanks again
    Matt
