ticking sound
Hello,
I just finished degreasing the chain on my bike, as well as the derailleur jockey wheels, and the cassette. In the process of degreasing, I lost the quick connect, and installed a KMC Missinglink 10R today to replace it (the chain is 10 speed). Lubed up the chain with Muc-off dry lube, and the bike is kind of loud. It makes a ticking sound on a regular interval, which makes me suspect the Missinglink is making the noise. How do I get rid of that annoying sound?

If you did what i did just last week, you threaded the chain on the wrong side of the support bar located between the 2 derailleur jockey wheels. Quick link barely banged the bar each time it passed; only link to touch it.

Count me in! Damn that's embarrassing. I did it the night before a century and finally had to stop and let one of the mechanics look at it. oy.
