So my HT has been making a clicking noise for a while now. It starts after a few kms into a ride and seems to get more frequent with time during the ride and is really noticeable if I stand and give it some welly, like when you accelerate hard or go up a hill.
Initial thoughts were; oh bugger the CSU needs replacing again as it made a similar noise which was diagnosed as a crown/stanchion joint debonding and this could be replicated by dropping the fork out and pulling on the lowers with the steerer in the bike stand. SRAM did this replacement via warranty but of course, this has now lapsed.
However, this time, there is no noise when this test is performed. The stem and bars have been cleaned and put back on. The LBS has checked the crown race and re-greased this and the headset.
Anyone got any ideas and of course the main question, will I die as a result?!
Cheers.
