    I have this clicking sound in my KH24 when I ride with a bit
    of power. When I have almost all my weight on the seat there
    is no sound, but when I put more weight on the pedals, the
    sound becomes clearer and clearer. My cranks are very tight,
    so I have ruled out that, my pedals are tight so if it is
    something wrong with them it must be inside them.

    What can it be:

    - Wheel needs truing
    - Bad bearing
    - Bad pedal
    - Something else

    And something else, the "cap" that is between my crank and
    frame, almost covering the hole for the bearings. Should
    this cover it completely so no mud gets in there, because
    mine doesn't

    Thanks for all the help

    clicking sounds with kh24s seems to arise quite often...

    i think i recall someone saying that if you hear some funny
    sounds you should check to make sure that your spokes are
    tight. just a thought.

    The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a
    capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety
    labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

    I've had the same thing, do you feel it through your pedals?
    I get it sometimes when thrashing over this rough ground
    when I'm just about stood up the whole time. It's not really
    an issue the rest of the time. Grease may be the answer. Or
    my intitial thought was bearings, but I really have no idea.

    Use antiseize. It's better then grease for high pressure
    applications. Here are some instructions from JC

    Quoted message said:


    Go to an auto parts store like NAPA and get some anti-
    seize. Anti-seize is fancy grease with metal flakes in it
    that is designed to lubricate in high pressure
    applications. It's about $8 for an 8 oz jar. That 8 oz jar
    will be enough to last you a lifetime.

    Remove the cranks from the hub Put some anti-seize on the
    splines, covering all surfaces where the crank comes in
    contact with the hub Remove the two bolts on each crank
    Put some anti-seize on the threads of all the bolts Put
    the right crank on and get the axle bolt snug but not
    super tight

    Put the left crank on and get the axle bolt snug but not
    super tight

    Tighten the axle bolt on the right crank Tighten the axle
    bolt on the left crank Now tighten the pinch bolts on
    each crank

    Putting anti-seize on the bolt threads will allow you to
    get those bolts much tighter than you can when the threads
    are dry or unlubricated. With the bolts tightened this way
    there should not be any play in the cranks.

    It came from this thread: tinyurl.com3h7j7

    I did this almost a year ago and I haven't had any problems.
    I also had my spokes tentioned. Even though they were not
    creaking, they were loose.

    is. I have been to some shops (motorcycle, bike) and not

    Thanks for all the help so far
