I've had surgery, and a new knee and it still clicks.

If it doesn't hurt it's probably not too serious, bit of wear and tear if anything. How old are you?

I'm 77 so expect some wear and tear. This is new and just wondering if the noise is something causing damage.

Are you absolutely SURE that it is your knee? I had a very similar problem bothering me for months and it turned out to be worn bearings in my lefthand pedal!

Good idea but I may run out of gears soonUnlikely given there’s no pain and your age. Keep on pedalling, use a lower gear on hills

Years ago I had a mountaineering accident requiring an operation on a tendon just above the knee. For a few years after, during winter when cold, the knee would make a noise. It no longer makes the noise. The knee has been fine.

Good luck with it then!
Coincidentally, I woke up this morning with my right hip starting to ache. Nothing too bad (yet!) but worrying, given that my dad was crippled by severe arthritis in both hips....
As a matter of interest... How low is your lowest gear, and how steep are the hills in question?Good idea but I may run out of gears soon

Sounds like you need a new bikeGood idea but I may run out of gears soon
It was said tongue in cheek. I live in a fairly flat area but love to holiday in Brittany which can be hilly.
Occasionally I have been in the smallest ring and in the smallest but one on the 8 speed cassette. Other times I'm happy to get off and walk.
I will at sometime get an ebike but I'd like to continue with a normal bike for as long as i can.
Luckily my mum never had arthritis so I hope I'll avoid it. Dad died at 48 so I suppose he might have developed it if he'd lived.

You are doing ok to still be managing without the motor! I hope that I can too, but I'll buy an e-bike if/when I can no longer cope with my local (severe!) hills.
Bloody hell 77 !!! I have creptis in left knee and I am in my early 40’s.... you are doing amazing
hahaha.......yes, I had a similar "problem". Turned out to be the seat post when I put pressure to the right sideAre you absolutely SURE that it is your knee? I had a very similar problem bothering me for months and it turned out to be worn bearings in my lefthand pedal!
