I'm a knucklehead
...But my bike shop isn't! I bought a new Raleigh C500 late December. I've been riding it 4-5 times a week and it developed a tick as the pedals turned. Thinking it needed a BB adjustment (and not wanting to buy the tool) I took it to the lbs where I purchased it to use up some of the free 1 year maintenance last Saturday. Finally picked it up today and the mechanic told me it was...... just a loose screw on a pedal! I felt like a knucklehead. But thanks to Evan at Bean's Bike in Paoli, PA.
