Is this riding noise normal?

[TheFlyingDingo]

Haha...Probably should have taken a video of it.

I used to have this noise when i rode BMX.
But its a good

KAH DER DAH PLUNK KAHDERDAHPLUNK KAH DER DAH PLUNK and so on. Only when pedaling. I assume it comes from the bottom bracket. I noticed it only happened when my cranks were balanced. I set the bearings in...nice and balanced...and you let the cranks go, and they move around a bit until they even out. Yeah...hard to explain...probably nothing to do with it.

ha probably not. if its coming from the BB its probably toasted bearings. and what do you mean balance the cranks?

Nevermind. It probably has nothing to do with it...Hahah

the cranks roll smooth and everything. I should just make that video

 

[Ratfink1962]

sounds like a rod bearing ?

:lol:

 

[CCR]

pedal noise maybe ?

 

[TheFlyingDingo]

pedal noise maybe ?

Now that could be it. I wanna ditch the pedals anyway. Haha.

The pedals don't seem to want to work as good as they should.

 

[stretch]

start with pedals. the last thing you want it to be is a rod knock or something. that costs thousands. :lol:

 

[scrumblero]

might be the crank arm creaking, are they good and tight?v :roll:

 

[X-RAY]

turn off your mp3 player before your next ride. :mrgreen:

 

[snarehead123]

i had an iverson that made that same noise,a bike mechanic said the bike was trying to tell you something but i did not speak german. :mrgreen:

 

[TheFlyingDingo]

Hahaha! Nice!

 

[blackdiamond]

So i guess you should learn German... :lol:
Or when it makes that noise yell NINE! at it :lol:

 

[outskirtscustoms]

Does the chain get loose and tight as you pedal? could be a bent rear axle.

 

[TheFlyingDingo]

The noise went away...Gotta check it!
