[Closed] Noisy Cranks when peddling hard

My crank makes a loud and annoying click on every revolution if I'm pushing hard up a climb. Well the noise comes from that area anyway.

Are my bearings buggered?

Any advice/ideas appreciated.

Could be:

Cleats/pedals
BB
Chainring bolts
Chain
Seatpost
Suss bearings
Any/everything else

Good luck and godspeed!

Thanks Tom,

I just had it serviced and was told chain was ok, and hopefully they torqued the bolts....

I guess its time for eliminating one thing at a time. I'll try peddling it up a decent hill without cleats and see if its still noisy. May even give me an excuse for a new seatpost as well ๐Ÿ™‚

I spend ages last month trying to get rid of creaks and clicks in my BB/cranks/pedals.

Turns out it was my wheels.

What are you peddling?

Most common:

loose/dry bb in shell (for ST/isis/octalink).
loose/dry pedal threads in cranks.
loose/dry threads in chainring bolts.

Pedal bearing play is another common one.
