right shoe lace ?

Loose RH BB cup possibly.

Or you need a face massage.

It's probably your chainring slapping on your mudguard, they do have a tendency to develop annoying habits like that.

Solution....

Remove cranks, pedals, remove BB - re grease and refit the lot.

Remove all chain rings and refit - grease bolts and refit.

That's the score with bikes - once done you'll be click free for a long time.....

Don't do bits on the drive train - put an hour or so aside, strip the lot and rebuild. All down to minor corrosion or loose fittings between different materials.

cleats worn out?
cleat bolts done up tight?

 

[betty swollocks]

Bet it's simply a loose pedal. Take off right pedal, re-grease, put back on and tighten properly.
Sorted?

Chainring flexing and one of the rivets of the chain hitting the front mech cage.

 

[bonj2]

No it's not the pedals. I've checked them.

Try riding it with different pedals to make sure.
could be cable hitting against the frame, i get that.

oh don't be so silly.

It's still the RH BB cup.

Is it louder in the big ring than it is in the small ring?

 

[mickle]

Thanks for the comments so far.

Is dismantling and cleaning the BB easy?

If you have the appropriate tools and the ability to use them it's a piece of pish.

 

[mickle]

Crank bolt socket or Allan key.
Crank extractor.
BB tool (and large spanner to drive it if required).
Pot of grease.

Workstand (optional).
Cup of tea/bottle of beer/wee dram as required.
