New Focus Cayo BB clicking....

tomc · 2009-05-15 10:57:57

Only 500Kms on my Focus Cayo and the BB has started clicking when under pressure, any ideas? It seems to run perfectly free without any crunchy feeling that I would have associated with dirt or damaged bearings so not sure what could cause? :(

You could take it out and grease it. However, I'll say that bikes can suffer from a range of creaks and ticks that always sound like they're coming from the BB but often aren't.

I had a bad clicking from my bb recently, bad enough that I could feel it in the pedal. Removing the cranks and putting some lube around the inside of the BB shell fixed everything and it has been smooth since.
