re: the clicking noise.. what is the position of the front derailleur cable end in relation to the cranks? i know i've found a clicking noise to be the cable hitting the cranks every revolution in the past ..
I ended up giving it a good solid hit with the rubber mallet and that fixed it.
Nope, we looked at that. Have tried skewers front and rear, seat post, stem, pedals, chain ring bolts, front derailer alignment and now bottom bracket.
