Ticking noise on C60?
Moderator: robbosmans
I have a ticking noise every crank revolution when my right foot is at 1-2 o'clock. Could this be the Campy BB cups or do they make more of a creaking sound? It was worse when I started the ride but now its not going away. It wasn't there for a few months after the bike was built, its something that has developed. Any ideas?

Had same thing on my C60, thought it was the BB. Changed wheels and it went away so put the original wheels back in (lightweights) after putting a little grease on the skewers and it went away.
Had this on my white C60. It was reproducible after two different bearing cups (installed with loctite) and in the stand with no wheels installed. I blame threadfit or the Campy crank. Running a THM crank on my blue bike with no issues (and same skewers).
As others are suggesting, start from simple things like swapping skewers, wheels, using some WD40 or similar on all bolts/nuts, and so on.

Chainring bolts can make ticks/creaks too...
Also had the same issue on my C60. Would grease the cups and would go away for a bit. Some anodizing rubbed off on the inside, driveside cups so I thought to swap out with some new cups. Has been dead silent for 500+ blissful miles.

I've had a similar thing happen once before. Turned out one of the chain ring bolts had come loose and was hitting the frame (hence once per revolution) By the time i had found the issue the gel coat had worn away. Could have been much worse though.

Fixed the ticking noise on my C60 yesterday by lubing chainring bolts before torquing to Shimano's spec. All chainring bolts are either lose or dry on my 2-month old Pioneer PM. That's bad QC for Pioneer.
