Townsend - yes when I changed the pads I cleaned the rubber boots and put in appropriate red rubber greese prior to installation of the bolts. Will post the fix when I get it fixed, need parts and time. Gary - ya now that I know what it is I'm more at ease. Not sure how well riding in reverse...

Took the caliper off and spun the wheel, no noise at all. I decided to seen what it was like putting the shim against the disk and the sound was the same just continues as opposed to certain points

I was actually thinking of doing that while I'm changing the oil over weekend.

If there's no sound try turning up your volume or checking it's not muted, it's def there as Gary could heir it. The mechanic tested the wheel there's no wobbling. He also said that if it was the noise would be there all the time not intermittently. I litteraly showed him the clip and he...

So I went over to the local bike mechanic (needs an oil change) and got him to have a look at it. The noise is coming from the brake area, the metal shims are sometimes touching the disk. But the disk is slightly warped which is most likely the culprit. Thanks anyway guys

If it was the wheel bearing would it not be there constantly? Like it vanished last week when I went to have a look and lightly pressed the brakes

Cools cheers mate. should be able to heir the clicking on that

Sorry only got a chance to take her out today. I gave the chain a good clean but when I got back after the spin today the noise came back. I took a video but can't seem to attach it, is it possible to upload videos on here? It's mp4 format

Had a feeling that was the case bud haha. Cools, cheers for that advice. Il bring it to that when Iv cleaned it all out. I just figured to put it to that cause that was the lower measurement. That's the same one that I based the measurements off on.

I know that isn't the original chain. What I meant by feel is, touching it as I spun the wheel. What kink? I said there wasn't a kink. I didn't do the chain, the previous owner did. Wether he did it him or not I don't know. Nor do I know the brand of the chain. I adjusted the chain so that...

I haven't cleaned the chain in about a month and was planning to soon. That build up is only on that section of the chain. The chain doesn't feel toast and there's no kinks on it. Unless it's some grit as you said but if that was the case it wouldn't have gone away today. That's why I'm still...

That seems to be the link. It was the only one different to the rest. The guy who I bought it off wrote down the chain was done about a year and a half ago. The clicking noise seems to be gone today, tried walking it and rotating the rear wheel backwards and wasn't clicking noise. :confused:

It could be, il try get the pics and video tomorrow.

There's about 55k km on it millage ain't too high. I'm not sure, I will have to have a look tomorrow when Iv more light. Iv only noticed it while I'm pushing it back walking beside it. Haven't noticed it while moving back while on it. Won't get a chance to do those till the weekend so will...

Sorry about that. It's the rear brake. I went down a while ago and had my ear to it to be sure. I'm not sure how long the chain has been on, didn't change it when I bought it. What I mean by before is after I first changed the pads the clicking noise came on after a few weeks. It annoyed me...

Hey all, Just wanting to see if anyone has any suggestions to a weird clicking noise. Basically when I walk the bike back it makes a weird clicking noise. It happened before after I had changed the brake pads (and the caliper mount due to my own stupidity snapping a bolt ) so I took it all...

Hey all, Iv been trying to raise the handlebars but keep reaching a point were everything is loose then go to lift the bars they wont lift on the right side. Do i need to get longer cables or should the standqrd ones do? Just trying to raise them 25mm at the moment. Regards, Shane
