What makes a bike click?
A clicking noise often comes from your chain wanting to jump up or down a gear on the rear cassette. This can typically be fixed by adjusting the tension of the cable that runs from your shifter to your rear derailleur. The clicking could be caused by a bent derailleur hanger.
Why is my bike making a clicking noise when I pedal?
A bent derailleur hanger, or one that is out of alignment, can cause a constant clicking sound while pedaling. The derailleur hanger might be visibly bent or off if it’s bad enough. Sometimes a creaking noise can occur from the derailleur hanger rubbing against the frame where it’s mounted.
Why is my bike crank clicking?
Most of the time, the true cause is a loose chainring bolt—tighten them up and that’ll quiet most creaks. After you check the chainring bolts and if you still hear the noise, look at your pedals, crank bolts, seatpost, and seat. Corrosion can form between the seatpost and frame, making a clicking sound.
