Im riding a fixed and i got a new cog/chainring and chain and ive noticed a slight noise in my rotation and i dont want to get charged 20 bucks at the local bike shop just to figure out what it is,especially if i just need lube on the chain,its not a very loud noise just a noise ha,If someone around center city could help me out by taking a look at it i would apprciate it VERY much,thank you

I dont even have 20 bucks to spare at the local LBS or i would do it:/

Edit: The noise didnt start til about 2-3 days after the new chain/cog/ring

No, Philly is a ****ing ****hole. Move to Jersey or somewhere in West PA.

Jersey sucks and **** West PA.

Agreed. They're still better than Philly though.

PS how's that sylvester stallone statue?

Haha its all we have here other than crime,Rocky and guns.

Haha true... I was just ****ing around, I actually love Philly. Can be a very beautiful city with lots to offer culturally. I apologize for cluttering up your thread with bull****. Good luck finding an honest response! If I lived in Philly I'd help you out.

No worries dude

Flip your bike upside down, turn your cranks and isolate whether the sound is near the hub/cog, or in the crank.

Hub/cog...

Chainline imo.

Chainline? as in its not straight? why would it start doing it 2 days after new parts and not do it right away? like i said,its like 2 kinda clicking noises on each rotation and when i resistance brake to slow down it creeks a little

How about loose chainring bolts? You changed the chainring and then after a few days riding they got loose. It happens.

or bring it to my house and i'll take a look at it for you.

have you tried lubing the chain? a dry drivetrain is a noisy one.

can we talk about how no lbs around here will even look at your bike without getting some sort of payment from you!?

sorry op had to take the chance to voice my opinion.

Seriously? What shop are you going to?

Ive been to mikes/trophy/firehouse/frankenstein etc and the only ones who are even helpful have been mikes in south philly.

and both therapy and breakaway have both said they would charge me $5 for even taking a look. once for a freewheel problem and another time for a chain problem

Check out Bell's Bikes right near Pat's and Geno's. Their prices, service and turnaround time are the best I've dealt with. The only place that did work on my bike where I was able to pick it up 2 hours later.

bell's bikes is great, and my neighbor francis works there.
you didn't show yesterday, i assume because of the rain?

awesome I'll keep that in mind
