We have everything you need to do that at Bikerowave if you care to venture to the west side.

Mar Vista - Venice, right ?

Yep :thumb:

Friends,
Please help identify the clicketyclackety sound my bike is making.
I can't tell if its the BB or the freewheel. I have a hard time getting it to make the noise in a work stand - it seems to only do it under load, and on and off.

My chain makes a sound like that if I have it tightened too hard. Sometimes if the front chainring is ever so slightly out of centre, it'll tug it like a bio-pace ring. But that's at a guess, try riding with the chain slackened to have about half inch of travel up and down.

Loose, broken spoke ? Also, valve stem rattling against rim. Why don’t you try another wheel ?

But, yeah, could be the freewheel. What brand and model ?

Chain is already a little slacker than I usually have it. And I know it's definitely not the chain.

I don't have another wheel :( yet.
I can't remember what the model of it is. I'd have to look at it when I ride home from work. I'll also check my spokes.
All of these things were underwater during the flood so I'm not surprised things are failing - but I just want to know what to replace :lol:

Floor pumps that will accept Lezyne hose
 

I love the old screw on chucks of the classic Lezyne pumps, but have had several catastrophic failure of their gauges (usually glass/plastic lenses blows off). I would love to fit the Lezyne hose/chuck head combo onto another more reliable pump.

Does another know of a make of floor pumps that will accept a Lezyne hose? (most use a larger diameter hose and fixture thread)

Yes, check for loose spokes. They make a variety of weird noises.

I vote freewheel. When I used Shimano it sounded a lot like that.

A thought occurred to me on my ride home from work - it can't be a spoke because the noise stops when I stop pedaling lol

Not necessarily. Pedaling loads the spokes in a way different than just coasting.

Probably the freewheel.

loud clunking sound
 

I was riding singlespeed tonight, and heard a loud clunking type sound from the back wheel area. Could that be the freewheel not engaging? Funny someone else just posted a similar question. It happened once or twice when I was really pedalling hard and pounding the pedals, and once when I was doing that and hit a pothole. Guessing the way to fix this is to get a white industries freewheel? (or just ride fixed lol).

Dave

Ah, that won't of helped. Bet the freewheels seen better days!
I hada mtb with a creaky front wheel once, turned out the spokes need half-turn adjustments to nip them up. Didn't feel loose in the slightest, but after that, fine.

Install you handlebar backward. That fixes everything.

That guy really got to you, eh?

Not really.

LOL. Maybe backwards and upside down since they are drop handlebars.

Dave

Difficult to tell because the video hesitates but it seems like it is timed with the crank rotation.

Could be chainring bolts too. I had 2 loose and it made a similar noise, only with load bearing force on the cranks.

Good enough excuse to order one of the ACS paws freewheels from you then.
I just can't decide to go back to 18t, or stay with 17t.

A high quality tire pressure gauge for Schrader?

I don't own a car so I don't use their valves much but the Topeak digital gauge works quite nicely on all the valves and has actually been quite easy to use.

Accu-gauge

Their gauges are the golden standard of both schrader and presta.

I love how they have a little bladder inside to hold the measurement until you decide to reset/ release the held pressure.
