If you cant get it by your self Bring the bike to In Compitition on University Av.

somethings are hard to explain over the internet. i'd start with finding someone with a 15mm wrench.
+50

3 shots would be detrimental to my wrenching ability, but I guess I'm just a weenie...

You should look for a stiff link. Run your finger under the chain while trying to detect a spot that feels stiffer than the rest. Isolate the exact pin that seems tight, there could be several. Grasp the chain with both hands and pretend you are trying to break it, forcing the chain to bend back and forth in the direction it's not supposed to - you're slightly working in the pin, loosening it. Feel again, repeat as necessary.

If you DO break it, SORRY! 1) Not that hard next time and 2) It was a weak link anyway.

and keep your fingers away from the cog or chainring while the drivetrain is moving! very important!

USE A 15mm WRENCH the right tool for the right job.

Why did this thread get resurrected?

the noise could be a stiff chain link. you better get this business dialed, you're gonna have to do it everytime you get a flat on the rear of your pista.

Didnt you ever hear "Any one can do it with the right tools it takes a mechanic to do it with the tools he has".

because cogs and chainrings, especially the cheaper ones, are not perfectly round.
