Drivetrain noise...Problem?
I just started commuting on my fixed gear(third day) and I have noticed a slight rattle coming from the chainring area. Aren't fixies silent? Any idea what the problem might be? ....Maybe to wide a chain.

is your chainline straight? chain lubed? correct chain tension?
|
The chainline is straight(I eyeballed it), the chain is lubed and yes the chain seems to be correctly tensioned.
|
I had that noise for almost a year until today.. I put on new MKK chain .... the sound gone..
Kinjo also had new MKK chiain and the noise was gone for him....... |
So, you think, its not the chain width is the chain quality?
|
I would think so..cos my chain line was strait when I took out the older chain.....
|
check the chainring bolts. even if theyre tight, they might make noise as they "settle in" for up to a week.
|
Yeah, I have some noise with my newly assembled drivetrain.
Promax/Phil wood cog&bb/Sugino 75/Izumi chain. Not chainline noise, just noise. I'm hoping it'll go away. But I might try reinstalling the chainring, per muftek's advice. |

its okay for your drivetrain to make some noise. the chain quality def has something to do with it. i have a straight chainline w/sugino rds, surly hub and cog with a sram pc -1 chain. ive recently lubed and tightened all my chainring bolts too. it makes some noise, but i dont fret. neither should you.

A little noise is nothing to worry about. My chain makes a little noise, and its a great, solid chain, and my chainline is straight as an arrow. Some of them just work like that. Don't sweat it.

Tonight, some guy on a geared bike was rattling himself down the street going the other way on the other side. His drivechain noise was so loud, it drowned mine out.
|
my drivetrain is usually silent when i'm riding but if i am working on it and i give the pedals a whirl i hear noise. kinda weird i think.
