​@@JimLangley1 Just wanted to let everyone know that I found my clicking/cracking noise. Surprisingly it ended up being a cracked jockey wheel on my rear derailleur. It was a really big crack going from the outside edge all the way to the center. Somehow it sounded exactly like a seat post/saddle sound or a sound coming from the cranks. Very surprised the jockey wheel could make that same noise. Of course I disassembled nearly the entire bike before I found it 🙄. I just happened upon it as I had already planned to replace the jockey wheels which had been making some squeaking noises a week or two prior. I suppose it transitioned from the squeaking to the cracking/creaking once the wheel completely cracked through. Another surprising thing is that I didn't seem to have any noticeable performance hit or issues with shifting while it was cracked. Anyway I hope this helps someone else as it's something I never thought to check.

Thanks for watching, Harriet! This other bike noise video of mine might help you with your clicking: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qadmZbtipr6yZ6c.html Also, on my bike website I have an exhaustive list of bike noises and fixes for them, which I've compiled over 20 years: jimlangley.net/wrench/keepitquiet.html This is a text article but you can search it easily by hitting control F and typing in your search words. Also, since it's difficult to tell where your noise is coming from you might want to get someone to ride next to you and have them see if they can hear where the clicking is coming from. Lots of times another person will hear better than we can to pinpoint it. It can be really helpful to have another set of ears and eyes trying to find a noise like this. Good luck, let me know if you need more help.

Probably coming from the spokes

I had a bad clicking when pedaling. I knew it was from the left side. It was minimal at first then after a little while longer got so bad I stopped and caught the bus. After further inspection I realized it was coming from the pedal. I knew because when I adjusted the tension screw I heard that same sound from the spring. Funny thing is after I tightened it, the noise went away completely. Then I heard it slowly coming back, then loud again. I took it apart re-greased it, and put it back together. Again the noise disappeared. But minutes later came right back. I'm thinking the bearings might be shot, idk. I'm going through the process of elimination. Next step is the bike shop, then I'll just have to get new pedals. Hopefully not.

😂😂 Thanks

Thanks for watching and the great question, Bradley. Carbon paste is basically a grease for carbon with a little grit in it. If you got spray lube in it, it wouldn’t hurt the grit’s holding power unless you really blasted the part clean. Usually the clicks come from metal to metal or metal to carbon contact, too, not so much carbon to carbon if it has paste on it. Hope this helps explain. Thanks again!

Thanks a lot for watching and especially for sharing your noise and how you fixed it Jonny, appreciate it! Chainring bolts are common noisemakers. It could be wear but if the bolts are dry (no lube between the bolts and the chainrings), that's one of the reasons they can start clicking or creaking. So after things are cleaned it's important to lubricate every contact point before reassembling. I would be happy to see the video but as far as I know you need a youtube channel to share it with me or some other video sharing platform. You could send it to me as a file through email and as long as the file isn't too large I should get it at my full name at gmail. Thanks again for watching and the great comment!🙏

Thanks for watching and commenting podge, appreciate it. Yes, you're correct, pedals can make noise too, good point, thank you.

Thanks for watching and for sharing your clicking noise and how you fixed it. Great job figuring it out! Pedals should always be greased when you install them and they need to be tight too. I have a full video on pedals with lots of other tips here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g5-iqdR8z7C-g6s.html

@@patoc2857 thanks for watching and the question. I am not knowledgeable about the properties of magnesium so you’ll want to research that, perhaps reaching out to Pinarello to learn more about your frame material and caring for it. But I wouldn’t think a little WD-40 would harm it. You do want to mainly lube the things likely to be making the noise. That’s the clamps and bolts not as much the frame and seatpost. If the carbon seatpost is dry you should lube it with carbon assembly compound (similar to grease but with grit in it) not WD-40. Here’s what that is amzn.to/3AlNNAy Thanks again.

Thanks for watching and the nice comment, allworkandnoplay, happy you liked the tip! Clicks and ticks can definitely come from pedals and cleats. You want to check the cleat bolts on your shoes to make sure they're tight and there are often screws in clipless pedals that if they loosen can make noise. So check to see if any are loose and tighten them. Oiling the pedals and cleats is helpful, too, both for stopping noises and also for making entry/exit easy and consistent. The only thing is don't oil the cleats and pedals and then get off and go into your house right away or you'll risk tracking the lube all over your floors and carpets! But lubing pedals and cleats can definitely stop ticks and clicks from that area. If pedals loosen a little in the crankarms that can cause click and ticks, too. So try tightening the pedals to make sure they haven't loosened. Another click and tick noise from pedals can happen if the grease in the pedals is all dried out. Most clipless pedals are pretty easy to get more grease in to the fix this. And one more is if you happen to get dirt in a pedal. That can cause a tick or click in a pedal on every stroke. Adding grease to the pedal bearings can fix that, too. Good luck! I hope one of these things stops your noise! Please let me know what it is when you figure it out. Thanks again!

Happy to hear it Tom. Thanks for watching and letting me know, appreciate it! 🙏

Thanks for watching and commenting. Just to explain more, standing up doesn't change anything actually. The clicking can happen from the seat binder bolt or the seatpost because when you stand up and pedal it twists the frame and that can put parts inside the frame like bolts and seatposts under pressure making the ticking and clicking noises. So it'll be interesting to hear if a little lube fixes your clicking noise, please let us know. Thanks again and good luck!

Thanks for watching and for sharing that your kickstand was making the noise - they’ll do that sometimes. Glad you found and fixed it, great job!

Thanks for watching and commenting oldsquashmonkey, yes that's true saddle rails and clamps can make lots of noises too as I show at 6:23

Thanks for watching and commenting, Dennis. Pedals can make a click noise. The most common reason they could make a click noise is because they are slightly loose in the crankarm. So maybe it'll go away if you just tighten that right pedal. Good luck!

Thanks for watching and the question, Enzo. The first thing to check is the chain. You can push on the chain in the middle and see how tight it is. If it's so tight it barely moves, the chain might be too tight. And a too tight chain can make a clicking sound when pedaling. To fix it you need to loosen the chain. If it's a new bike you just bought at a bike store you could have them do it. Let me know if that works or not and I can give you some other things to check.

You're very welcome! Thanks a lot for watching and letting me know it worked for you!

I'm happy to hear it worked, Luke. Thanks a lot for watching and commenting!

Thanks for watching and the question, Pippo. The thing that usually fixes the clicking noise is the lubrication that's added. And you usually loosen the part you want to lubricate so that the lube can get in between the parts and then you retighten it. So you wouldn't be making something that's already tight even tighter (which is when you put parts at risk), you would be tightening something that's loose. I hope this is helpful and thanks again!

@@JimLangley1 No worries, thanks for the reply. I was referring to that when you lubricate or grease the bolt, you decrease friction of the threads which increases the preload force of the screw (not sure if that's the correct term in English) generated at the same applied torque. If the NM values are defined for dry montage you have then danger of over-tightning since most force is going to overcome friction of threads and screw underhead. Which is why you'd probably want to stay at the lower end of the torque provided by the manufacturer. Regarding the seat post, it's a clamp connection. Usually with those you want a high amount of friction to hold the saddle in place and there are products like fibre grip for carbon seat posts specifically. If you lubricate or grease the seat-post you again will have to tighten the screws more to keep it in place which might cause damage to the components. So I'd avoid greasing the seat post if it's made of carbon. For steel it doesn't really matter. That was kind of my rational...

@@PhilippUnterreiner thanks for explaining what you were referring to. Actually most bicycle fasteners and components are lubricated and most today have torque specs written on them. That's a nice thing as long as you have a torque wrench handy but not everyone does. The reason you grease steel and aluminum seatposts is so that they don't get frozen in the frame as a result of corrosion (there are different types of corrosion). With carbon you use carbon paste so they won't get stuck and so they'll stay in place. Usually it'll have it on it already if it came with the bike. If trying to fix a click you got some spray lube on a carbon post it wouldn't likely cause any slipping issues because the carbon paste should be on there. The torque spec on the bolt should be all that's needed to keep any seatpost tight in the frame. If not, it might be an undersize seatpost or oversize seat tube on the frame. Those are older problems. Modern bikes the specs are usually spot on and the torque specified keeps you safe as long as you do have that torque wrench. Thanks again!

@@JimLangley1 Thank you for clarifying!

Thanks for watching and commenting, appreciate it. Seatposts are notorious click makers because there are so many seat attachment clamps made up of many parts and dissimilar materials. I’ll be doing more videos on other noisemakers. This one and my one on noises from wheels kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qadmZbtipr6yZ6c.html are very popular. As for the dime- it’s not a dime to me anymore, it’s a tool that lives on my bench or toolbox 😉 Thanks again! 🙏👍

@@JimLangley1 loose spokes too I had a click.. I think some ahole driver kicked my wheel while doing a delivery... or bike might have dropped with lock around wheel "freelocked"..

@@bikinglikebecker yes that's a good one - loose spokes can click. Thanks!

Thanks for watching, ASMR. Yes, my fix in this video is for a clicking or ticking noise when pedaling definitely not a clunk noise. You should check your bottom bracket to see if it has come loose in the frame - a common problem. You can check for this by standing next to your bike. Hold on to the crankarm closest to you (the pedals attach to the crankarms), and then while holding on to that first crankarm, reach through the frame and hold on to the other crankarm. Now holding both crankarms like this, push and pull on them to see if you can feel anything move sideways and make any noise like the clunk you hear. You don't yank on the crankarms, you just exert steady force in one direction (across the frame) and then in the other direction to simulate what happens when you pedal with one foot and then the other. If there is movement when you do that, it's probably coming from a loose bottom bracket and you'll want to tighten it, which should stop the clunk. Okay? Hope this helps you fix it.

@@JimLangley1 thank you for responding. Yeah, I went and bought some spray lube and tried the suggestion in this video, but that didn't do it. I'll try and see if I can do what you're suggesting here. I have a single speed bike that has a kickstand that lifts the back tire up off the ground, so should I use the stand, or do it with the wheels on the ground?

@@JimLangley1 update. I just tried what you suggested and I do think that's the problem. I have no idea how to take this apart to fix it, and I live in a small town in Thailand where no one seems to know bicycle repair. Do you have a video on how to do this on a single speed city bike?

@@ASMRTingledPink to know how to fix it, we need to know what type of bottom bracket you have. Here's a video on taking apart a one-piece crank and bottom bracket. These are common here in the USA and on some foreign single speed bikes. Take a look at the video and see if it looks like the crank you have on your bike. If it does, the instructions will help you fix it: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mtacktqduainaJ8.html If it doesn't look like your crank, if you can send me a photo of your crank to my email address at my full name at gmail, I will look at the photo and explain what you need to do to adjust the bottom bracket. It's usually not too difficult to tighten one. If it's worn out, it will be a bigger job to replace it. But, I can see if I can walk you through it once I know more - happy to help.

@@JimLangley1 thank you so much! I'll watch the video and see what I can do. I hope I have the people tools. I appreciate your help!

@@nahimjustchillen_ thanks for watching and the question. Since the noise is only on the non-drive side and you feel it too, I would check the left pedal and crankarm to be sure they were lubed. The pedal threads should have grease on them. The bottom bracket spindle/axle should have a little grease on all 4 flats before installing the crankarm. Sometimes people forget to lube those parts. Dry parts often make noise. Another possibility is a bad left pedal. To rule that out put a different pedal on and see if the click goes away. If so, you'll need a new set of pedals since they aren't sold separately usually. Good luck, hope this helps.

Thanks for watching and commenting, Harriot10! A noise that sounds like a creak instead of a click or tick - very different noises - might be coming from something else. Since your bike is so new I think it might be coming from the cable housings rubbing against each other or rubbing inside the frame (new housings are sometimes not perfectly routed on new bikes and sometimes the housings are a little too long). Try separating the housings so they can't touch each other (putting some cloth between them can work) to see if the noise goes away or changes. Where the housings can touch each other they can make creaking noises because as you even slightly turn the handlebars the housings slide against each other, and that might be it. Good luck! I'm happy to knock around other ideas so please let me know how it goes.

@@JimLangley1 Thanks Jim! That’s more good information. I recently flipped my stem and that may have put pressure on the cables witch travel through the top of the headset. I’ll eventually run out of things to check and hopefully find my problem 🤞🏼

@@JimLangley1 I finally figured it out yesterday. Replaced the BB, wasn’t it. Thanks, I appreciate your help. I think I may have resolved the creaking noise for now. I removed the stem, dropped the fork as much as I could w/o removing cables, cleaned, greased, and reassembled. No creak anymore. Does worry me a little to know how much of a pain it would be to do a bearing replacement on the headset though. I actually enjoyed my 40 mile ride today. Smooth as can be 😎

@@harriot1019 that's great news, thanks for letting me know and congrats! Yes, they haven't made it easy to work on headsets, but with some workarounds (cleaning the parts in place, for example), you do the best you can. And fortunately, the quality modern headsets do not require maintenance anywhere as often as the old designs. Thanks again!

Thanks for watching, happy you enjoyed the video Leo. Since it only happens when you're climbing it could be coming from the wheels. Did you see my other video on wheel noises kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qadmZbtipr6yZ6c.html I show in the video that a common one is a click from where spokes cross. A drop of oil on each cross (wipe off any excess) will usually stop the clicking. Also tightening the spokes but that's not as easy. If you change out your wheels and the noise goes away, that'll tell you it's the wheels making the noise. But change only one wheel out at a time so you know which wheel is making the noise. Good luck. Look forward to hearing what you find.

@@JimLangley1 I did and loved it. I tried three of the suggested tips: 1. Oil on the spokes, 2. Tape on the stem, and 3. Lube and grease on the skewer. However, my good friend is still hanging around. I will def try one wheel at a time and report back. Thank you for your quick response. Leo

Just tried a dif set of wheels and the noise is still there. Ugh!

@@leojesposito7366 well at least it's not the wheels. When you tried my trick of lubing the seatbolt area, did you remove the seatpost collar from the frame and lube inside it (if it had a collar) and did you fully remove the seat binder bolt (that keeps the seatpost tight) and lube it up outside and inside (the threads male and female) and put it back in? Those bolts and collars are notorious noisemakers and sometimes you really have to get plenty of lube on them. They will still click when loose and even if you take the seat and post out. So that's the first thing I'd try. After that, if it still make noise, you'll at least know it's not that common issue. Try it and I can walk you through some other ideas if it doesn't work.

@@JimLangley1 I did do the above 100%. The bike is a full carbon Trek Emonda SLR. Seatpost, saddle, stem, bars, and wheels with Dura Ace 9000 groupset. Could it be an internal cable? I might have to ship this thing to you. Ha!. Additionally, I did have my local shop and the Trek store look at it and they were unable to solve the mystery. Hence me reaching out to you. TY!

It sounds like a noise from your wheel Frank so please watch my video all about noises wheels make and how to check for a fix them: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qadmZbtipr6yZ6c.html

@@JimLangley1 OK...I can hold the bike up by the seat and spin the wheel and it makes the sound. I spray lubricated everything and it made no difference! It does it with no weight on it and suspended so it is not the wheel but thanks!

@@frankroper3274 thanks for explaining more. It might be a rubbing brake pad, a kickstand hitting a spoke, if it's a new bike with new tires the little flashing on new tires which are like little rubber fingers might be touching the frame as the wheel spins making a noise, if the wheel is crooked in the frame, the tire might be touching the frame, it might be the bearings in the hub. Maybe one of those possibilities is it.

That can be a lot of things but first thing I would check is the chain. If it’s too tight it’ll make noise. It needs some slack in it all around when you pedal one time around. If it’s not the chain it could be the crank clicking. Might be loose crankarms or loose bottom bracket bearings. Pedals can click if they’re not fully tight. Those are some things to check. Hope it helps.

@@JimLangley1 turn out it was the brake pads

@@Onewheeljj good job figuring it out, congrats!

Thanks so much for making this important point gmonteith, a saddle or even a seatpost breaking can cause a crash and injury so you're absolutely correct that it's dangerous to ignore these sounds. Thank you for watching and the great comment!💯

Thanks for watching and commenting, hot T! Glad you found and fixed your clicking noise and have a nice, quiet bike again. Good job! Since the lube made the click go away, it might be that that pedal is a little loose. You might want to take a wrench and make sure the pedal is good and tight. Just in case you don't know, the right side pedal (chain side) is regular thread so you turn it to the right to tighten it. But, the left side pedal (non chain side) is left-hand thread/reverse thread - so turn that one to the left to tighten it. I have a video all about pedals here if you need it: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g5-iqdR8z7C-g6s.html Thanks again!

@@JimLangley1 You are the best of the best, thank you! I actually JUST replaced both pedals thanks to your other video. I'm not sure spray lube is ideal for that small port in that "hub"? Any thoughts on proper grease for there? Cheers!

@@hott9053 thanks for the kind words! I'm glad you saw my other video on pedals. For grease you can use any multi purpose grease you have really. Grease is thicker so it lasts longer than a spray lube on the pedal and crank threads and will ensure that years from now you can still get the pedals off if needed. I use Park Tool's grease: amzn.to/3Ee3Ej4 - about $10 for a tube. Thanks again!!

Thanks for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed the video Steve. Did you try the steps I show in the video to fix/quiet your ticking noise?

@@JimLangley1 🤔thanks for the reply, i will try the other methods in your video😏but its the drivetrain for sure👍i will try the chainring bolts also, is the torque about 14-16NM🤔👍

@@stevebennett3587 if it's the chainring bolts, it might be because they need to be lubed. The interface between the ring(s), spider and bolts are all areas that can tick and tightening alone might not stop the noise. As for torque, about 9Nm for aluminum chainring bolts and about 12 Nm for steel bolts. If you don't want to take everything apart to lube in between all the parts you could try spray lube just as an experiment. If the spray lube on the bolts makes the tick go away, you've probably found the issue and if the tick stops you're set. You can just wipe off any excess spray lube. If the tick comes back you could take the parts apart and put some heavier lube like grease on everything. Good luck, hope you find it! 🤞

@@JimLangley1 👍😉thank you

Thanks for sharing your seatpost binder bolt click story, Bill. That’s exactly why I made the video- I hope it will save some folks some trouble and frustration. Thanks for watching and commenting, appreciate it!

@@the_trooper_72 oh, sorry to hear it, sure hope it was not a serious knee injury but at least it wasn’t the bike!

Thanks for watching and the question. You called it a "loud popping sound," which I think might be what people often call "skipping." And if your "popping" is "skipping," that is usually caused by a worn out cog/gear on the back. What happens is the chain rides up and off the teeth and slams down again making that noise. You hear it and you really feel it. If that's the case it will only happen usually on one gear, not all of them. So if that's happening you probably need to replace that worn out cog. I hope this helps. Happy to try to help more if that's not it and you want to describe in more detail when the noise happens - how you're riding the bike for example, standing, climbing, shifting, coasting, etc.

Thanks for watching and the question, j4s0n. Yes the seatpost collar is a place that can often cause a click so you can lube that and see if it works. But it also can be the bolt, the seatpost and the seat clamp that's holding the seat on the top of the seatpost. So if the lube on the collar doesn't do the trick, lube the other parts and hopefully you'll get rid of the noise, Good luck.

Thanks, Graham, glad you enjoyed it. Thanks a lot for watching and commenting!

Thanks for watching and asking about your click, Ebikefe! If a bike makes a clicking noise in one gear it is often a misadjustment of the rear derailleur. And if that's the problem, usually you can fix it with a half turn or a couple half turns of the cable tension adjustment barrel. That's for standard shifting not electronic shifting. Here's a great video on using the adjustment barrel to quiet down noises in a gear: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i9GKq7N6v5fSl40.html Thanks again!

Thanks for watching and asking about the saddle, ralfzz. It's a Specialized Mimic womens saddle. Here's a link: www.specialized.com/us/en/power-comp-with-mimic/p/159199?color=239696-159199

Sounds like the chainring might be rubbing on the frame. Either that or a bad bottom backet bearing. You can usually feel for these things by hand. Good luck Joseph!

@@JimLangley1 🙏 thanks.

Thanks for watching and the question, Angelic. If I was working on your bike, I would treat that as two different mysteries to solve. They might be related but maybe not, too. I also don't know what type of bicycle you're working on. But, since you said it usually makes noise when you're coasting, I'll assume yours is a derailleur bicycle with gears. On that type of bike, whenever you stop pedaling and coast, the freehub on the back wheel makes a ratcheting noise (click, click, click or tick, tick, tick noise that gets faster and faster as you go faster and faster). A couple things that can make that noise much quieter or make it go away altogether are if you were to wash your bike and get water in it or if you were to spray lube onto the rear hub or rear derailleur such that the lube got inside the freehub. Did either of those things happen? If so, once the water or lube is gone, it'll start making noise again, which usually takes a few rides. For the noise when pedaling, since it happens only when pedaling, I would check to see if your front derailleur is rubbing on the chain. Sometimes front derailleurs get bent or knocked off a little and if so the chain can hit them making a tick, tick, tick sound. Even simpler, look to see if the front derailleur cable is sticking out so that every time the crank comes around when you're pedaling, the cable hits making the noise. That's an easy fix. Just bend the cable so it doesn't hit. For a front derailleur rubbing the chain, you need to adjust the front derailleur, possibly align it if it got bent or knocked out of position. These are just guesses based on what I am assuming about your bike. I hope something here helps you find and fix the noise and no noise 🙂

@@JimLangley1 thanks for the feedback, the noise was really *ticking* me off….. sorry for the bad pun. I’ll show your reply to my dad so he can help me fix it! :)
