Triban 3 Owners Club

[jonny jeez]

Thanks the info.....yes just as I'm about to push down on the right pedal....seems to be getting worse and does it when cruising along on the flats now.....but I'll give your tip a try.....cheers

watch your knuckles on the ground as you push that spanner down...I'm positive it'll sort you out, mine start to click every so often and this works every time.

Right .... New question about the original (red) Triban 3.

I have just bought a set of RS10's from sittingduck of this parish (thanks again). I would like to buy a new cassette so i can keep the original wheels for turbo/winter duties.
What cassette is on the Triban (stock) and what should i put on the RS10's ?

I think it's a 12-25 Shimano HG50.

If you were only more careful with it in the first place

I've only spent £25 on mine and that was new tyres, you been on your bike lately?

I'm not a triban owner (although I have convinced a coupke of mates to join the club).

the clicking noise is most likely your pedals, does it ocur when one of your pedals is at 11.00 o clock, just as you start to put on pressure.

take the pedals off, stip out any grease on the threads and on the crank arm (in the hole that the pedals screw into) with GT85 or the like (avoid WD 40) and then re-grease the threads (internal and external) and refit. The clicking will stay away for a few hundred miles til the grease dries out once more.

Having the same thing here. The noise is coming from the left crank and it happens when going from 12-6 o clock on the downstroke.

Been out on it quite a bit recently, building the miles back up slowly but surely Weather has been fantastic for the past couple of days, 20+C so I haven't been going out for too long at the one time.

Good stuff, you will need a good bit of practice for Arran

That does seem strange about the pedal / crank noise I had similar noise on mne and thought it was the clipless fitting on the pedal it self at first but discovered by putting chainlube oil first on the clipless springs it made no difference so put some on the part where the pedal thread stem enters the pedal and that seems to do the trick though not entirely convinced as its that. (think faulty seal on pedal Shimano SPDPD 530 double sided) but found that the noise stopped sometimes when I've flicked pedal over though the last few times I been out its not happened? but still inclined to think that the pedal seal could be at fault.

I managed to fix my pedal/crank noise issue. I took off the pedals, sanded them down (unrelated, just mentioning it), cleaned them thoroughly, put a bit of grease on the important parts and put them back on... and the clicking noise was still there. I ended up taking out the screws in the crank arm and putting some grease on them and then tightening them back up, that seems to have sorted it out

Thanks to the nice weather, I ended up sitting outside for about two hours fettling with my bike. It got a proper clean and the chain and cassette are silver again

Sanded pedal (left) and scratched pedal (right):

Things are looking shiny again:
