The click happens when I let off. It happens regardless if I'm in or out of the seat or if I grab onto the handle bars or not. It also doesn't take a lot of pressure to get it to click, could be pedaling lightly and it still does it.
Tried swapping the right pedal with a spare, no fix. Re-torqued the stack bolts and crank bolts, no fix. (Haven't got around to checking the bottom bracket yet). I was thinking of the rear cassette or free hub in the back, but then the clicking would happen with the right or left pedal.
Any other ideas for a quick fix?
Thanks

It could be your bottom bracket. Since you changed pedal and tight everything and it does not fix it, I feel it is not likely a pedal issue. It could be the bearing problem in the bottom bracket. Or maybe just not enough grease in the thread (if it is a threaded bottom bracket) or bearings. If you have ridden in the rain, this might be very possible.
