Just been out for a ride on the SS, and there's a cracking noise, similar to when a chain link is about to pop... but all the links appear fine....
It's rigged up as a SS with a standard QR cassette hub, with a spacer kit and a Surly 17t sprocket.
Could the one of the actuators in the hub be on the way out?
Any ideas welcome
Cheers
Ricks

Its an FSA V-Drive crankset... you reckon BB? what would be causing it?

is the chain line spot on? even a slight 'corner' can make noises.

A chain ring bolts lose?
stiff chain link?
How tight have you got the chain at the moment?

If its external bearings (can see through the axle with cranks on and one side of the crank is attached permanently to an axle ) probably not, but if its any other type, isis in particular(splined integrated axle),square taper ,octalink etc,it probably is. Theyre very problamatic types of bb and worth it in the long run to upgrade to external bb's.

Chain's not too tight, may well be at a slight angle.. axle does slip a little i'll give it an adjust and see how that goes.
Cheers for the help chaps!
