I have an intermittent 'knocking' that seems to come from the bottom bracket and is in tune with my cadence. This comes and goes and I have checked everything for tightness and all seems okay.
My second issue is an occasional slip of the chain when piling on the pressure - usually up hill. I have checked over the rear dérailleur and it looks okay. However it does seem more 'in line' when I'm on the bike than when examining it dismounted (me not it).
Anyone come across these sort of things before? I'm reluctant to take it to my, very reliable, LBS due to the intermittent nature of both problems. The bike is only around 6 months old and is a Marin Kentfield FS. I only use it for a short commute and I try not to treat it roughly - pot holes excluded.
