Ok... so i posted about this a few months ago and i had a bunch of clicking and squeeking with my stock iro bottom bracket. So i just replaced it about three weeks ago with a shimano bottom bracket (cheap sealed one for 20+ something dollars) and what do you know! i feel/hear a clicking when i resist the pedal back or when track standing again. Though it's not nearly as bad as my old iro one.. I'm just a bit annoyed that i can't have a bottom bracket that'll runs smoothly/last for more than a few months.

What do you guys think... is it just that I'm having horrible luck with these bottom brackets or something wrong with the way I'm riding or something :\. i just don't know i would hate to keep replacing these bottom brackets every month hah. I'm just a bit annoyed!

Any help/advice is much appreciated

-thanks

Any chance it's because the bb is not tight enough? Also, worth checking your chainring bolts, they make a similar noise when loose. Also check your crank bolts.

Also, the noise can come from a pedal or even your seatpost - check if clicking goes away out of the saddle.

Hmm ill try and check some of those. Though i doubt it's the seatpost b/c it clicks when im off the seat, like when im sprinting or track standing up.

Check your pedals.

damn sheldon knows everything. thanks for the help!

i read the sheldon link and quickly checked for each of those listed.

I'm happy to say that i solved the problem.. it was my chainring.. 4/5 of the bolts were loose on it lol.. i don't know how i missed it!

thanks guys
