I was wondering if some one could help.My pash has suddenly developed a creaking noise when putting more pressue on the peddle than usual (uphill,going faster etc) totaly fine otherwise, its about a years old.
Pash1, greetings.….…..also worth checking out are the rear axle nuts and the rear hub torque arm nut and bolt for security, it could also simply be the chain in need of some ‘GT85’ .….….…safe rides, DW.
thanks for this… ive had a go and put some lubricant but the noise seems to persist, it sounds very much like an engine cooling down a kind of clicking noise… hmm
Pash1.….…if your steed is a 3 speed model it could be the Sturmey Archer X-RD3 hub in need of adjustment, it could even be stone or small piece of flint in a tyre tread!
You need to establish whether it’s transmission (chain/crank/gears) or wheel (stone/flint) rotation related clicking noise.
If it is a single speed Guv’nor it could be the rear sprocket… I had mine replaced recently during it’s first service by my local bike shop, which fixed my creaking problem.
