Bicycles Asked by Jugdizh on August 1, 2021
My bike is making a clicking sound on every downstroke of the left crank. Here’s a recording I took while out on a ride: https://soundcloud.com/jugdish/20210309-1510-recording-2-edit/s-x5znI4sdTPu
It gets worse with more force, like when climbing.
I will admit I was the last one to put the cranks on and I didn’t have a torque wrench, but I’m pretty certain I got them on securely. At least there is no lateral play in the cranks.
I’m thinking that leaves either the pedal bearings or the bottom bracket as the cause? Does anyone have any other ideas? Is there a good way to diagnose whether the pedals are the cause without having to buy new ones?
Your noise is pretty loud and constant. It suggests something is worn out. It's possible there's some interface that needs cleaning and greasing, but with Shimano road BBs, that usually won't produce a noise so constant and obnoxious. This is what I would do:
