Hey everyone -
So today I finally got around to throwing on some upgraded parts on my bike. I installed the following:
FSA Aluminum Clinchers (forgot the exact model)
Ultegra 6600 FD
Ultegra FC-6750 Double Crankset
Ultegra 6600 2x10 Shifters
Ultegra BBR60 Bottom Bracket
I had the bike shop torque down (well he didn't use a torque wrench but its definitely tight) the bottom bracket for me as I don't have the stupid 41mm tool and all the bike shops around here don't sell it, but other than that I did the install myself. Everything when on smoothly, but when I took it out for a test ride I noticed a real annoying, loud click that comes from the crank/bb area when pedaling moderately hard. It seems to consistently happen when I'm past the top of the pedal stroke and I start pushing down (if that makes sense). It almost feels like the chain skips a tooth or something but I don't think it is actually skipping. I can feel the "click" through my feet. It does it on both the big and little chainring.
The rear derailleur (Ultegra 6600) was already on the bike (I had a triple crankset with the same cassette). I've tried the following to no avail:
- Tried my old rear wheel
- Tried a different cassette
- Tried different pedals
- Uninstalled and re-installed the crankset
- Removed and re-installed chainring bolts
- Tried to apply lateral force to crankset with the chain off to look for play - nothing obvious
I'm kind of at a loss here and very frustrated as I spent multiple hours today trying to figure this out and now I can't ride until I get it fixed. I also can't take the BB off since I don't have the tool (I have ordered it but will take a few days)
All of the parts I installed today were bought used but seemed to be in good condition. Chainrings have a few worn down teeth but nothing horrible. BB was also used but looked like-new when I got it.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
