Hi all, I have a Sonder Camino Al GRX1 and I have a strange noise which I think I’ve narrowed down to the rear mech/ jockey wheels. It is a tinkling noise, very subtle clicking, not all the time, some rides it’s fine and some rides it drives me crazy. It’s not the wheels as I have changed those and the sound remains. I have set the tension correctly so its not noise from chain rub trying to move to the next cog etc. Over my many many years of riding I thought I’d dealt with most annoying noises but this has me baffled. It appears to be worse with the clutch on I think. Is 12 speed just so tight on tolerance that drivetrains need to be really clean perhaps? I ride everyday so that’s never gonna happen though 😊 Cheers for any suggestions and Merry Christmas and happy New year all!
I put a Shimano chain on backwards about a month ago and chased my tail trying to work out the clicking noise. And I remember making a conscious effort to get it right first time when I installed it! All good now ...
I’ll go and check!! Cheers
Cable end hitting spokes in certain gears?
Do you mean you have swapped the jockey wheels or actual wheels?
The actual wheels😊 fancied some nice DT Swiss beauties.
Hoping I’ve cracked it… not literally😉 The noise was driving me crazy on my ride today so I stopped and had a look to see if I could see anything obvious/ not spotted before. When I pushed the mech, near the clutch inwards towards the wheel it made a clicking noise, i figured that when pedalling the mech probably moved slightly leading to the noise but not as loud, hence the tinkling sound. I came home and blasted all moving parts on the mech with WD40 and it’s now (not getting too excited) silent!! Big old Chefs kiss moment! Good night all. 🤩
Spoke too soon 😩 Noise is back!! Gonna take the mech off, remove jockey wheels and clean/lube everything including hanger, thru axle etc. I so hope it works.
My Camino has made a ticking noise/feel from the moment I got it, did it with the original sram axs setup and still does it with GRX now. Could just be slightly off frame alignment maybe or a less than optimal mech hanger/dropout setup?
Oh that’s not good then, drives me crazy on long road rides! Is yours random, more at times, less at others, no pattern etc? Normally these things are a click per rotation but this is not the case.
It seems to be mostly tied to my cadence but not quite once per revolution. I’ve learned to ignore it!
