I kept looking for 'clicking' fixes but now it makes sense. the noise is pretty much identical to what I was getting on my fixie when the chainring bolts had to go. now, on a 2x drivetrain with no chainring bolts, I was confused. this fixed it in literally 5 minutes - thank you!
Its crazy how every video suggest that something is wrong with the bottom bracket. So few videos suggest looking at the pedals. $4 of Vaseline and jobs a goodun.
Horrible camera work. It doesn't even show how much you used or where you put it. Don't give up your day job. Or maybe you can get a gig shooting video for a radio station. That would be right about your skill level.
It went together easily in less than an hour. ru-vid.comUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L Make sure the front fork is forward or the pedals will hit the front tire. Tires are both a little soft so it needs air before I ride it. The rear wheel didn't come with a clamp regular bolts hold it on. The front had the clamp. No scratches out of box. Rims are a little off with a slight wobble. They could have spent more time with the spoke tool fixing the run out. So far out of the box I'm happy with it. I did replace the pedals with a nice aftermarket set. After riding it a bit my A$$ is a bit sore so I ordered another seat. Overall I'm nearly 60 and didn't ride a bike in 30 years. I like my new 29" Schwinn. It will be used for casual rides with my friend.
I had this same noise this morning riding to work. I knew it wasn't the bottom bracket. It got worse as i went further felt a slight vibration in the pedals. Checked my cleats. But i guess only under load will you hear it. Thanks a lot for the video. You're a life saver.
I've had the same exact two clicks appear on my mountain bike, and I was able to narrow it down to my right pedal. I started to take the pedal apart, assuming it was a bearing issue inside the pedal, but came across this video. I decided to give it a try. I am not going to lie, I did not expect it to fix the issue, and fully expected to have to take the pedal apart. To my surprise, after putting some lithium grease on the pedal and screwing it back in, my bike was once again silent. Thank you for the video; saved me hours of frustration! My best guess is the pedal has just enough play in the threads to shift back and forth, making the clicking. The grease either lubricates the joint to get a tighter fit, or fills the gap and prevents the rocking back and forth.
What do you mean by vibrating? Like something is grinding in them as the rotate? If so; it’s time for new pedals or to replace the bearings. Hope that helps
