We will be in touch
OK, converted to 1x10 set up. New cassette, chain, short gauge clutch mech, shifter and BB fitted top chain guide.
Now all the gears shift nicely up and down, but there is an annoying clicking sound especially when on the 32t and 36t cogs and when I put extra pressure on the pedals. I've checked the top chain guide and chain seems to be running free through it. The sound does sound like its coming from the rear. Can't see anything obvious.
Any ideas?
Is the chain long enough?
Worn chainring. Had the same prob; a ratcheting type noise. Same set you as yours. Worn ring, new one swapped in and prob solved.
How can you tell if its long enough?
Front ring is only six months old and was fine with the old 1x9 set up.
Big ring, big cog at the back and add 2 links
It could be a chainline problem. Experiment by adding a few spacers
between the chainring and crankarm spider. A mm or two should help
align the chain and stop the annoying noise.
Tight link?
Have you checked to B adjustment screw? Sounds a bit like the jockey wheel is to close to the cassette and would sound worse under load.
Stu. That is one thing I have checked, and its OK thanks
My 1x9 with all new kit was noisy and it was down to the chainring. Changed it to a renthal and all resolved
Its a Rental ring I have on there at the moment.
Well took the bike back to bike mechanic this morning. He double checked the alignments and chain length and everything is fine. He said that the teeth on front chain ring were slightly worn. So the chain may bed in after s few more rides or a new chain ring may be needed.
