1. it's possible the cranks were not as tight as you think 2. it's possible that you couldn't put enough force/weight on the pedals to make it happen on the workstand 3. it's possible that your bottom bracket needs to be repacked/reinstalled/regreased 4. it's possible the clicking is your saddle rails (yes, it happened to me and nearly drove me nuts) check all those things. oh and buy a torque wrench and tighten things to the manufacture specs. it'll make you feel better, if nothing else. -sv -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
