I remember a click that I couldn't trace for ages. It turned out that a brake cable end had got bent into the line of a heel strike.

Checked that ! It's very short ! 👅 Saddle has been off and greased, cranks off, new BB, new chainring (was worn, but does it in all 3), cassette off, cleaned, re-fitted). Blooming drive runs perfectly, other than this little tinkle click at the top of the stroke on my left leg - doesn't do it right leg pedaling, but does it both legs or left leg pedaling (I picked somewhere quiet to do one leg pedaling).

I've checked rattly clothing zips, shorts catching cables, everything. I'll get there. I hate any noises on my bikes - doesn't do my OCD good

It's not even a loud click, but it's annoying.

Leave the camera on, but remember no nose picking or botty scratching please !

We don't use our cameras which makes it easier...

The really annoying thing when it happens is you try to sort it out methodically by eliminating all the possibilities. My problem was that I hadn't even considered it as a possibility....

That's why - leave them on and you have to concentrate. I think in the last year, I forgot once, and may have picked my nose !

I had a persistent click on the Full suspension MTB. Everything had been regreased, including most of the pivot bearings. Read 'on-line' that creaks are often caused by the rear frame bearings near the axel as they don't move much through their range. Low and behold... last thing I looked at.

makes me think you've got a a cracked crank, it sounds like somethings moving then settling back as you go over TDC.

I assume you're reading American texts with your spellings of axle.

Only noticed when you started having the current problem with the clicking.

I've had a nap to reset my brain . I will try it out later.
This morning I did more than measure twice cut once . It was measure umpteen times and cut 6 times. I had to cut either end in order to centralise things. I discovered after the first cuts that I hadn't removed enough when I fitted the plastic ends back on. They stuck out at an angle which I hadn't accounted for . Once I had cut 1/4 inch off both ends it was correct .
We went down into town for a conducted walk around our town. It was a trial run for the museum . It was when the fairies kicked in. I did the walk with my wife but I wasn't there half the time !
It is a shame to miss out on this lovely sunny day. A bike ride would have been nice .

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee, that was fun!

15 brisk miles in the company of Wiggy #1, the Rouen roadie. Not often you get a still afternoon out here, which meant I was zipping along at a really rapid clip. Just the thing to put a smile on my face. The road bike is such fun.

JIS/ISO issues on the BB - hope not.....

Brits are being told to brace themselves for a "June Monsoon" this week before blistering temperatures return once again.

After a scorching start to June, temperatures have taken a dip across the country and some areas have seen torrential rain.
