Bikes: "Hildy", a Novara Randonee touring bike; a 16-speed Bike Friday Tikit; and a Specialized Stumpjumper frame-based built-up MTB, now serving as the kid-carrier, grocery-getter.

I have literally taken complete drivetrains apart in the 70 ties to find the clicking sound..... sure pedals and BB sets were mostly the culprit, but loose saddles , stems and what else not have been declared the culprit at times....
I just walked over and flipped the bike upside down. The rim looks straight, although I did a lousy job seating the tire after the last flat.

The chain clears the frame, but it's a close thing in the back. The noise is coming from the front, I think.
