Chainring Bolt Nut
A new bicycle is usually pretty quiet when you are riding but as they age there are certain noises such as squeaks, rattles, clunks and clicks that you may hear. These noises can be very important in the long term care of your bicycle.
Pay attention to the noises such as a rattle in the bike and where the rattle comes from. A rattle coming from the front of the bike maybe a loose headset and a simple tightening could very well get rid of that altogether.
If the rattles sound like it is more in the wheels, take a look your wheels and it you are running Presta Valve Tires you may want to remove the valve nuts, these little rings can be a source of aggravation. Some people just throw then out altogether or I have seen some people put small rubber washers under them and tighten then snug so that water doesn't get into the rim. If you have a rattle in the wheel area they are a good place to start checking
Loose Cassette Cogs can also cause rattling and will seem to come from the rear wheel. You may need some special tools like a chainwhip wrench to tighten up the cassette or you may end up just replacing it altogether depending on the amount of wear.
Other things that may cause a rattle are loose water bottle cages, you may have to bend the cage back to hold a smaller water bottle and of course make sure the bolts holding the cage are tight.
The tools in your tool bag could be hitting on each other or on the seat post and causing a rattle. This can be fixed by wrapping the tools in a rag or even an old sock the sock can then double as a glove to keep you from getting too greasy if you need to change a tire or do some minor roadside repair.
The list above is by no means inclusive, there are many other things on the bicycle and maybe even the rider that can cause a rattling noise when you are riding, virtually all are harmless if caught in time.
Squeaking and squealing are two noises that can be annoying and could signal something serious, so do listen to your bike.
A dry or poorly lubricated chain will often cause a sort of squealing or squeaking noise. To fix that simply lubricate the chain, but be sure to wipe off any excess to keep the chain from attracting a lot of dirt and clogging up the chain with sludge.
Derailleur pulleys can also cause a squeaking noise which is often described as a bird chirping. This is usually easily detected because the faster you go the louder and faster it squeaks. A few drops of oil between the pulley and the side plate will usually take care of that noise.
Clunks when pedaling are usually caused by a loose bottom bracket or loose pedal or both. If the bottom bracket is loose you may be able to adjust it, tighten it or you may have to replace it altogether. If the clunking is from the pedals you may be able to tighten them up and get rid of the noise.
Clicking noises can come from a variety of sources also, the most likely being the wheels. The spokes on the wheels cross each other and since no one including me seems to ever think of lubricating these they get dry and tend to make some clicking noises sometimes. A simple solution is to lubricate the spokes where they come together once or twice a year and you will probably eliminate that possibility altogether.
The crankarm coming loose or not being properly lubricated or the chainring bolts coming loose can also cause some clicking noises. Removing, cleaning and lubing the crankarm, tightening or replacing the chainring bolts should take care of any problems in that part of the bike.
