new uni clicks....

First make sure the pedals and cranks are tight, since those being loose
will cause damage. (Don't forget the left pedal is reverse threaded.)
If that doesn't fix, feel how smoothly the pedals or the wheel turns,
listen closely for the clicks to identify a bad bearing.

Some pedals ahve seased bearings and there is nothing you can do to
adjust them. Some have cones and lock nuts, and you can get at them to
adjust the tightness.

Clicks and creaks in time with your pedal strokes must come from either
pedal bearings, pedal:crank inteface, crank:axle interface, or spokes.

If you can feel it with your foot, it won't be the spokes.

Make sure the cranks are tight on the hub. Looseness here is the most
expensive problem!

Make sure the pedals are properly seated in the cranks. (This is the
least likely probem.)

Make sure the pedals are on the correct sides of the uni - a common and
expensive mistake is to assemble the uni the wrong way round.

If you've done all these things, it must be the pedals. They are
either adjustable or they're not. In the short term it will do no
significant harm, and pedals may well be your first upgrade anyway.

Enjoy riding it.🙂

Mine had the same problem. In this case the pedals were adjusted
loosely. On the end of the pedal there is a nut under a dust cap. Take
a socket and tighten it a bit. That fixed mine.

MINE did that on my new DX AND my 24" Qu-Ax before it.
I rode and heard a click ever now and then. I discovered that the
rather acute angle of my shoe's arch thing was clicking on the
reflector every two or so pedals.

On a brand new uni it could also be spokes. A new wheel usually needs to
settle, regardless of build quality. The better builds often have most
of the settling (seating, whatever you call it) worked out of them
before they go to the customer. A machine-built wheel is much more
likely to make noises.

Don´t buy a new set of pedals until youre 100% shure it is the pedals
that are the problem. I had the clicking noise also when my KH was
new.

I rode it a little more, greased up the splines on the hub/cranks and
the pedal threads with some copper anti-sieze a little. Don´t think
that was the problem, it was probably the spokes that had to settle.
