I am At my witts end with the noise from my disk brake bike. I've repacked and adjusted the headset 5 times and added a couple of shims to the top cap. I replaced the bottom bracket. Lubed and adjusted it multiple times. Still get this weird tick tick tick. When pedaling. Mostly over bumps, not big ones cracks in the road. It's random. Only occurs when it wants too. I tightened the ring bolts and the spider mounting bolts today and serviced the b.b. again today, but I saw no reason for it to be making noise. I've lubed the bars stem seat mount and post. Different pedals too. I hate to say it but I am contemplating taking it to a shop.....
my bike computer rattles like crazy. I feel your pain.

I went for a ride with 5 others today. All way faster than I am. Well, 2 were on e-bikes, one was Pizza Guy, one was a 35 year old speedster, and the other was a woman who is one of the fastest climbers I know, male or female. What the hell am I doing with these people on a hilly ride?
Lucky for me they waited after the climbs and seemed to enjoy the more casual pace. Fun day and no a-fib yet.

I had something like that with a loose saddle clamp bolt and I’ve also had funny clicks from spoke crossings after riding through sandy puddles.

My breakaway makes a clicking noise when the down tube clamp is loose.
Always worth checking unless it’s not a breakaway.
