Farkiners,
I've done some searches, and so far nothing matches my problem.
I have noise OCD.
*Here's my setup:
*2007 Giant Glory 0 FR
*RaceFace Evolve DH cranks, guide + bashguard
*E-13 36t chainring
*Various pedals.
Under decent pedalling, around the time that the cranks level out (once left pedal forward, once right pedal folder; i.e. twice per revolution), there is a "tick tick" noise coming from my cranks. Also, when I concentrate on it riding slowly, i can feel a very faint click in the right pedal - I'll check if I can feel it on the left too.
I've pulled apart the cranks, bottom bracket and chainguide, cleaned and greased all parts that move (except pedal threads as my searches revealed), cleaned and lubed my chain, and degreased the derailleur and cassette. And changed my pedals. Without pedals on the bike, and without the chain, I can feel slight clicks when I rotate the cranks, which leads me to think that its a bearing issue.
Anyone who's had this problem before, or can give me an educated opinion on how to fix this, I'm very appreciative.
Oh, and I'd prefer to do any work myself.
Thanks,
J
