[Closed] Pedal "click" on down-stroke - chainring side

There is unlikely to be anything wrong with any component.

Re-install bb, pedals and chainring bolts, all with grease on threads, & any mating surface of bb, nice and tight.

Have you looked at the cones in your rear hub? I had something similar and the cones in the rear had come loose. The stress put on the hub when pedalling was causing some clicking noises. It sounded like it was coming from pedals/cranks/bottom bracket.

+1 Cynic-al or is your drive chain worn? Measure your chain?

Loose chainring? Is it in all gears?
I will say that I bought some DMR V8s recently, and they were particularly shite. Cups and cones were rusted from new I think... Not enough grease... They could be the cause too...

The cable for the front mech rubbing?

Well, the bike is pretty much brand new... Only done a few weeks work getting me home and back to the office at lunchtime when my road bike was proorly.

I can't imagine that it's the chain, given the newness, and the "click" can be easily felt when pedalling, more so when more pressure is put on the pedal. However, there is no play that I can find in either the crank or the pedal itself, and it spins freely enough. Ditto chain rings... You put enough force down and you hear the noise, now with added rattly sounds (sort of). it's the same place all the time as well on the stroke.

I'll check the wheel cones tonight, but I can't remember seeing any play in them last time I looked at them.

2nd the front mech cable catching

Will give that a look too, but would a mech cable make the right pedal feel like there is a distinctive "click" on the downstroke about 3/4 of the way down? And surely it would happen no matter how much force was on the downstroke, rather than just with load...

Second what cynic-al said.

Worth putting a little grease in and around the rear dropouts then do the QR up tight. The QR moves slightly when under load - had a couple of bikes suffer from that noise and fixed it

Just tighten the RH Pedal. You rarely feel play when there's a creak.

Tried the pedal last night. It was pretty tight on the crank arm, so I swapped out the DMRs for the Wellgos on my wife's bike. One test drive later... No noise.

Back to the DMRs and the right pedal does sound quite gritty when spun, certainly not as smooth as the left pedal. I'm going to go mad with grease on it tonight, then swap pedals again and see what happens.

Thanks for all the advice so far!

Loose rear spokes / damage to hole aroung the nipple ? a long shot but happened to me.

@Willard, I'm in the process of a warranty claim on DMR V8s. I think there's a particularly shit batch of them doing the rounds (in a creaky fashion)

Had something very similar. Fixed it by removing pedal and lubong it. Pedal was wellgo v8 copy. Almost brand new

I had a similar thing which still kept happening even after a new drivetrain went on. It turned out to be a worn powerlink - the one part I'd re-used!

Had the same problem the other day.
BB area was clicking on the downstroke, especially when climbing and as you say, you can feel it through your feet.
Was a Truvativ Noir GXP and only had 5-6 races and no training on it. If your problem is the same as mine was, tighten the BB cups as they come loose after a while and cause a small amount of play. Try that.

Had a similar issue that turned out to be my V8's got rid of them in the end as it was doing my head in as soon as I had gone back to SPD's problem solved.

make sure its not the aglet on shoe lace, drove me crazy one year, removing stripping and lubing everything, but was just the end of the lace hitting the crank arm
