Been out tonight on an organised ride

What's with the clicking noise from the back wheel, almost like a spokey dockey
My bike does it , its audible when free wheeling or pushing it,but not over the top.

If it's really load and sounds like a machne gun, does it make you go faster :D

    It's the pawls on the free hub. Some free hubs are noisier than others.

    That happens when you stop pedalling, don't stop and you wont be affected. :lol:
    I used to just ride my bike to work but now I find myself going out looking for bigger and bigger hills.
