when riding in high gears (mainly 10th gear but now 9 is starting as well) and pedaling heavy to get some speed there is a fairly loud clunk that sounds like the chain loses it's tension and then snaps back on about once ever revolution

i'm not exactally sure what's causing this but if i had to guess i'd assume crank wear but any suggestions would be great
Most likely chain/sprocket wear.
