Saddle change/Pedal clicks

I broke my seat and changed it out today. When I got on, I discovered a vibration and click in the left pedal in high gears only. Clean in coast pedaling. I'm taking it in to the bike shop tomorrow as the whole bike is still under warranty. Seeing as that I am a female, I do not want to get the run around. Any help would be so appreciated, cuz if this is truly a bracket issue my warranty is up in Sept and I want it fixed.

Thanks! tp

It may just need to be tightened... they sometimes "work their way out." If that's what it is, so long as it hasn't come out too far, you're probably okay. It's worth it to check all the nuts, bolts, screws & cables every 6 months even if you rarely ride. If you're riding a lot, check it more often & keep it clean so you'll spot issues sooner.


Good luck!

If you stand while pedaling does the click continue? Saddle rails can make a clicking sound that matches the crankset rotation.

+1 and it's easy to check/troubleshoot. Used to add few drops of oil where rails go inside the plastic.
