My bike has developed an annoying click.
99% certain it's drivetrain related and most likely chainring, crankarms or pedals.
each pedal stroke, around the 12 o'clock on the pedal stroke there's a noticeable creak/click.
It's sounds like the chainring bolts aren't tight. But they are. Checked them last week. Then took apart the whole drivetrain. Cleaned the sprockets, chain, chainring, chainpusher.
Reassembled it all and gave it a test ride. Click was gone. But immediately on my commute, it's back.
I did wonder maybe it's not the drivetrain. Maybe it's the way I pedal causing the bike to flex in a certain way at that part of the pedal stroke and the noise is actually coming from a hinge.
I'm thinking the only other thing to check is the BB.
Have I missed anything obvious? It's just very annoying.
