Yeah, I saw that too.
A little (okay, a lot) more than I was hoping to spend.

Yeah, done all that 5 times tried teflon tape last time, now its back. The only time I hear it is if the cranks are turning, but only if they are spinning. If I mash or get out of the saddle its quiet.

I actually had a problem that sounds very similar to yours just a few days ago. Fixed it by greasing and tightening the seat rails.
For some reason, I feel like I have already said this...

mzeffex 

Yep. I don't want to though.
It's a 130 bcd, but SRAM does make a 46 and a 38 for that set up.

ls01

because you did ,a page back. Its a good thought but I checked it. I also checked all the cables and removed the seat post and greased it, removed the stem and greased it removed the bars from stem and greased it. checked both quick releases tightened and replaced the wheels. checked the chainring bolts. replaced the chain (it was time)and finally, tried a different set of pedals. and stil click....click.....click....aaarrrgggg!

ls01

I would say build it up and give it a try. If its not enough, changing a ring isnt that tough of a job.

Just2View

Ouch. That really sucks. Noises drive me crazy, and make me not want to ride. I'm not sure what could be making the noise! Maybe you should/could take it back to the shop and see if their mechanics can fix it?

mzeffex 

That's true. I'll do a race or two on the 50.

mzeffex 

ftfy.

I know...Riding into the wind is a waste of energy!
Although, as mzeffex has stated, is also good training.

Yeah it is at the shop, mine. I build all my own bikes. My biggest problem is time. I travel for work so I am only home a couple days a month. So when I am home I want to ride not wrench. But the last time I had a shop do anything they said it was fixed. So I picked it up and guess what? Not as fixed as they said it was. Iwill fix them but it will take time. I can still ride them, as long as I grit my teath.

I miss the old thread.

I miss the Ask Pcad thread.

This one is showing signs of going Freddly.

Not at all, riding into the wind is the poor mans (or womans) mountain. Use it as a training tool, it will make you stronger and faster.

Being out on the bike is never a waste. But, riding into a strong headwind will certainly test your resolve.

RUOkie

the key to riding in wind is to make sure you are doing an out and back route. Headwind on the way out, tailwind on the way back.

It's those 25mph crosswinds that get me.

go-ing?

Just2View

Travelling for work sounds like it could be fun at times, and annoying at others. Last time I brought my year old hybrid into the shop for a tune up, when I picked it up, it had a couple of scratches on it. >.>

rjones28 

Were things better in the old days, gramps?

ls01

Headwind make you strong like BULL.

RUOkie

Tulex

I'll take a hill over wind any day. And I'm not big on hills.

Just2View

As would I. Hills just seem like more fun.

rjones28 

Aren't those Cervelos aero? You should be simply slicing through those headwinds.

Velo Vol 

As in terminally Fred.

Traveling was fun for the first 6 weeks or so, then it quickly progressed into the sucks big time zone.
Another good reason to do my own work, acours, if I scratch my own bike, then I gotta kick my own ass.
