A couple weeks back I received my kilo wt and for the most part it seems solid. One thing in particular is driving me nuts though...
I am getting a "ping" noise coming from the drivetrain.
I am 100% certain it is not the bottom bracket.
If I simple push the bike backwards I get this little ping noise ~2 times per crank revolution. I can also hear the noise when riding on the road.
These fixed gear/ss bikes are so simple, really the only thing that could be the problem is the chainline.
The bike comes with a sugino 48T crankset. Not sure the exact model. Any idea what length BB spindle I need to get my chain straight?
