does it always happen at a particular point of the pedal cycle? like, when the righthand (drive side) pedal is all the way back, or all the way forward?
yes sir, big chainring.
ummm im not sure, i tried to look to see if it does but i didnt pay too much attention to that. it happens with each pedal stroke though. but i think it makes the noise when each pedal goes forward. so ill pedal forward with right foot *noise* go forward with left foot *noise*. so pretty much with every downforce the noise occurs.
just out of curiosity what would be the issue if it did occur at a particular point? would it be an issue with the chainring then?
