New bike clicking

Post by Pull » December 23rd, 2023, 12:49 pm

I assembled my new Bikeerg yesterday and did my first ride today. At 75 cadence there was a low clicking 3-5 time a minute seeming to come from flywheel area. If I increased the tempo and added power it was about every second. I have checked all the screws and bolts, pedals, etc. and can't find a an answer. From old posts others have commented on this but those were from 2019 or so. Otherwise my :30 workout was normal, just this clicking sound. Is there any recent info/fixes on this?

Solved I think. Seemed to be rock in tread of my shoe or click in prescription insoles. The harder I pushed the louder and more persistent the clicking. Changed shoes and problem went away.

Glad you figured it out. That’s actually pretty funny, now that it’s resolved.

My BikeErg has a clicking problem too - but only when I reach a cadence where my shoelace hits the pedal shaft fast enough.
Drove me nuts for a little while before I realized what was happening. Changing shoes or tying differently "fixed" the problem...
:lol:
