I wouldn't think it's the BB at 6 months old.
More likely to be a loose pedal cone nut (assuming they are ball and cone bearings).
I used to get this a lot on my OE pedals and they frequently needed nipping up.0 -
My bike intermittently did that and it drove me mad until I worked out what it was.
It was when the chain needed re-lubing - it happened on the downstroke of the forward crank arm as it passed horizontal. I changed to using 'Squirt' and it stopped it (until I hit about 12-15 miles and then it slowly starts again)0 -
can you swap pedals?
Also is it your shoelace hitting the bike somewhere or the cable from the front mech catching...0 -
na its a mecanical problem as i can feel it click as well as hear it.0

had the same problem two weeks ago. Refitted BB and crank - no change - refitted pedals and fixed.
but check everything in the whole drive train from cassette being tight to chain rings being tight to chain lubed, mechs adjusted, pedals tight etc.0 -
im getting new pedals as mine a rubbish so will see if it goes then.if not will prob take it to my lbs and get them 2 have a look as im having a stag wkend in afan at the end of the month and want my bike working tidy.0
