Clicking noise on carbon

[Cuchilo]

Is this normal ? I have a slight clicking noise that comes and goes . I'm forever tweaking things so assume that its just things settling in again but it bugs me when it happens as im looking for the source .

Check pedals are tight. I had this on mine recently every time left crank went past 10 o clock on way down.

Unscrewed pedals greased and nipped up again sorted it.

Bearings may be starting to go on the BB ...
Mine was making a creaking sound (carbon frame) I was thinking the worst cracked frame etc
end up BBB

Spanner at the ready for the morning grease up
Its not a worrying thing , its just annoying because I don't know what it is .

I hope not , I only started riding it on Christmas day

If you have a BB 30 chain set the bearings go quickly 6 months

Saddle rails?

The BB30 in one of my bikes is two years old.

Does it click ?

Does it click ?

Not at all.
On the other hand my hip does so perhaps that needs replacing.

I was going to say its probably my knees clicking

I also have a random 'click' that comes and goes and really bothers me when it happens. I checked and tightened the BB, but that didn't help. For a different reason, I took off the rear wheel, and when replaced, the 'click' had gone.....but returned about a month later! I still don't know what is causing it, but it's an old (and inexpensive) bike, so it's probably not the same problem as yours.

I had a similar scenario and it was the seat post clamp just needed nipping up. Drove me bonkers!

 

[woohoo]

I had this on my (BB30) bike and it turned out to be the chairings. Undid the bolts removed the rings, very lightly greased the interfaces, bit of copper stuff on the bolts, reassembled it and no clicks.

Ive nipped everything up and its still there . Not all the time and im not sure if its even from the same place now .
Could it be that I will get some noise from the material movement ? It does seem to be when I put the pressure on rather than just pootling along .
