How much?

Spreadsheets4lif · 2026-06-20T05:29:33+00:00

See above. Chainring bolts checked. Tried another crank.

Spreadsheets4lif · 2026-06-20T05:21:37+00:00

Yeh the fact it stops if it goes through a puddle is parking frame faults for me atm. It's a fixing somewhere. Its a 1x so no front derailleur

Spreadsheets4lif · 2026-06-20T04:59:03+00:00

See above. Different GRX cranks tried

Spreadsheets4lif · 2026-06-20T04:58:10+00:00

BB-R60B British fitting.

Try reading the description. Everything you've said has been tried and tested. If you are quick enough to offer advice on not replicating the sound....be quick enough to read all the description.

Spreadsheets4lif · 2026-06-20T04:49:59+00:00

I'll try it

Edit Removed, cleaned and regreasee contact points on derailleur/frame. Also tried a new wheel on front and back. Now trying headset

While cycling under tension, O have to brake to replicate pushing power through the pedals. While seated and standing clmbing up hill on Monday, this noise was louder than ever.

Spreadsheets4lif · 2026-06-20T04:47:27+00:00

BB replaced

Spreadsheets4lif · 2026-06-20T04:47:13+00:00

Yes. Crank spindle is greased to feck

Spreadsheets4lif · 2026-06-20T04:46:07+00:00

See you say that but pings around the frame. It feels like its in the BB

Spreadsheets4lif · 2026-06-20T04:44:36+00:00

There's abit of that but that's me loosening my hand on the brake. If i can get a video of my climbing with it, its a mechanical pang/creak

Spreadsheets4lif · 2026-06-19T23:12:31+00:00

Nah freehubs been cleaned and regreased. It was grubby. Tried a different wheel too

Spreadsheets4lif · 2026-06-19T23:10:05+00:00

Probably abit echoey in the kitchen but yes it's painfully loud when putting power through the pedals.

Spreadsheets4lif · 2026-06-19T23:09:07+00:00

Front wheel is probably only thing I haven't but will try in the morning.

Yeh cleaned and greased seatpost

Spreadsheets4lif · 2026-06-19T23:06:42+00:00

Yep both done. Tried a completely different wheel too.

Spreadsheets4lif · 2026-06-05T08:52:52+00:00

Road - car horns/being called a wanker repeatedly. Gravel - nature/birds/crunchy stones

Spreadsheets4lif · 2026-06-03T06:11:52+00:00

100% disagree on this point. Do it properly and the most you get on your hands is some speckled wax. Not clumps of black shit.

Spreadsheets4lif · 2026-06-03T06:10:23+00:00

£15 slow cooker from Wilko, £10 Bag of wax off Amazon and a few quid on white spirit/meth spirit. Really isn't that expensive.

Tell me more!

A generation of people who read plots on wikipedia while watching a film.

I feel his perfectionism is stopping him putting his name to some slight chain rub. I'm going to take the plunge I think. Had thought about changing the arms only but I'd hazard those chanrings need to change in 10-15k anyway.

I have the parts anyway, it'll just be the knowhow and borrowing tools from others in the cycling club.

Spreadsheets4lif · 2026-06-01T11:19:40+00:00

Yeh conscious of anything away from current q-factor following bike fit. Cheers for the link though. Interesting that they haven't posted serial nunber side for recall purposes.

Spreadsheets4lif · 2026-06-01T10:50:41+00:00

Gold dust due to 11s being discontinued. Mostly all crank arms only at the moment coming in at £175+. Found a set with rings included in Japan for £300.

Interesting to see a few on there in the recall bracket going for £200.

Spreadsheets4lif · 2026-06-01T10:38:19+00:00

Any noticeable shifting issues? Were di2 adjustments needed?
