campagnolo crankset noise tick-tick-tick
situation:
on the maiden voyage of my restored Ultima I started noticing a tick tick tick.
it is related to the drive side S.R. crank arm or TI pedal.
-the chainwheel is not rubbing
-it happens in low or high chainwheel
I came home and checked the nuts on the axle( campy SR TI with nuts)
the nuts were loose so I tightened them
is there an official torque spec?
I checked the 5 chainwheel bolts also
I rode today and the tick tick is still there
it only takes a very light pressure to happen.
when the right takes pressure at TDC
-must make a revolution first.
Im going to swap pedals next to see if it goes away
-process of elimination
