Question: what is this noise i hear every full cycle of my bikes wheel? Its a light click similar to the noise when you spin a wheel without pedaling (speaking of which what is that noise) but only once per cycle, not as frequent.
Its an apollo volare, brand new
is the tire flat?

Not really. Just checked and theyre well pumped
Valve?
It's your bottom bracket creaking. Depending on the bike and bb it might just need cleaning and lube. Saying that if it's a carbon frame and a pf30 bottom bracket it will creak forever.

I don think it is carbon fibre, maybe aluminium?
Ill oil it for sure, wd40? Whats bb too?
>>1036706
Just checked the bike spec and it's a sealed bearing so should be good if new. Check that your pedals are nice and tight on your crank arms as one might be a little loose

Bb is bottom bracket. No to the wd40 unless you want to break it
It's probably your rim hitting your brake pads lightly because your wheels isn't true.

I have the light click on my front wheel. It's because it's slightly out of tru.
Is it once per rotation of the cranks?
If it's not check your chain for a damaged link.

It happens only when im riding, i couldnt replicate it when pedaling or moving the wheel with my hands
It can be a million things

>What could the presta valve be doing?
Rattling against the rim hole. Cut a tight slit in a piece of electricians tape and put it over the rim hole with the valve stem going though the slit. It will keep the valve still enough to not rattle.

My click brother, just had the same experience and it still fucking clicks and clangs. At least it's only mildly annoying when the brakes are squealing (after deglazing, scrubbing and toeing in + new pads) and the fucking cable stops are ripping from the frame. OH and theres an unusual rub/squeal under standing load that might be wheel flex or the BB in its death throes.
>the "click"
- Check that the threads of your pedal spinals are greased and tight
- Check that all your chainring bolts are tight
- Check that your crank arm bolts are tight
- If you have them, check that your innertube valve collars are tight (or better yet, remove them)
If it's still clicking after this:
- Pull crank arms, check if BB cups are loose.
If it's STILL clicking after this:
- Pull BB
- Clean and grease cups and BB shell of frame,
- Reinstall BB
And if it is yet STILL clicking:
- Replace BB

Once a click I was hearing turned out to be the reed switch in the wheel speed sensor. Only likely to hear that while off the bike and spinning wheel.
Another one that proved difficult to diagnose was when a chainring tooth would hit the front derailleur but only under load. Just needed to raise the FD a little.

Once a click I could have sworn was coming from my drivetrain turned out to be the stem clamp, a little grease made away with it.
