One More Reason To Click on a Road Bike

 Click click click with each pedal stroke.

Bearings, chainrings, pedals? No no no

Click click click

Chain keeper scrubbing, crank arms loose, cadence magnet rubbing?

No no no

Click click click


We had replaced the rear brake caliper, a slight upgrade from the rs685 original

Shimano Rs785 Hydraulic Disc Brake Caliper

and also had replaced the cassette and chain.

Click click click


...and on that chain we installed a quick link, a SRAM, an Oil Slick SRAM from a bandaleer of MTB parts

Click click click

so the shape is a bit odd...

Click click click

and did I say 11 speed chain....

DOH!


The issue was I put a 12speed quick link onto an 11speed Shimano chain. How did it even begin to work? Why had it not broken, it went for 128 miles before I got to this point...





Put an 11speed on and the click is pretty much gone...
