clicking noise

[Michael86]

I have had my new bike for about 5 weeks, but now I'm getting a clicking noise from the back wheel. Its there if I pedal or coast. I would be grateful if anyone would know what it is making the noise.

Can you be more specific? Each time the wheel rotates for example? Does it click when you spin the wheel when off the bike?

It's the lollypop twining your spokes to sound like a motorbike.

If it's a once a revolution check nothing is caught in the tyre or there isn't a buckle. Can you replicate the noise by lifting the bike and spinning the wheel. Check for loose spokes (or broken ones)

I think that's a TMN to me!

Could be your foot cliping your derailleur cable....but have you tried spinning the wheel without riding the bike? Surprised nobody's mentioned that yet TBH

 

[Michael86]

It is every time the wheel spin. But its worse when there is weight on the bike.

 

[Turbo Rider]

Mmm, could be one of a few things...have you checked the wheel alignment in relation to the chainstay and / or the position of the brakepads? If that's fine, it could be spoke movement...could be a dirty hub.

I found the clicking noise on my bike to be a dry pedal thread. This was after 3000 miles touring. I was convinced it was drivetrain also.

 

[Gravity Aided]

Check your spokes, and spoke tension. I'll go along with @Turbo Rider and say the hubs could use a good going over as well, if you haven't done that already.

Saddle rails or seat pin are very common noise makers.

+1 thought my bottom bracket was knackered - loose seat lost

One thing I learned was its very hard to pinpoint the noise when you're riding!

 

[Maxime]

Had the same thing once ago... I was indeed a loose spoke.

Mine was clicking earlier in the week. Sprayed some gt85 where each spoke crossed over and touched, cured. I've had this before seems a common problem. Another easy fix is that bloody nut on the valve that always comes loose, make sure that's done up.

If you put an O-ring on the valve stem before you screw the nut on it has something to seat on and doesn't click on the rim.......
