When commuting through San Jose thursday, I too heard an annoying and rhythmic
clicking sound. I stopped and looked but saw nothing obvious. The only thing
I knew for sure was that it was coming from the rear wheel. I thought
"great... ny beautiful Phil hub is going".
When I got to my office

sometimes i hear clicking and it's the crank arm hitting the cable end of
the front derailer. that's probably not it but it's worth a check.

The bearings I bought finally showed up and I had some time today, so I got
to work.
Followed the directions for disassembling the hub to find that the original
bearings were fine. Smoother than the new ones actually.

Jay, my experience is similar to Ren'e's. I had a persistent rythmic click
that I couldn't find. After much adjusting and inspecting, a friend who is
a wheel builder heard me say that there was no click on the stand. He took
the tire off and carefully looked at the rim while he hand stressed it.

Seems I've wasted a few drops of oil which will probably just attract dirt.
Test run and most likely change out the wheel tomorrow. Then find decent
replacement bearings on ebay.

FWIW, If it is your spokes that plucking sound would be recognizable as
they have a distinct pitch to them. If it's a lower pitch it is not the
spokes.

Do you run fenders? Mudguards? On my X0-1 I have kinda loose rear fender
and my mudguard/mudflap...is well ...floppy and it rubs against the rear
tire. Another source of maddening noise for me was MKS pedals...repacking
fixed that. Or could be a common garden-variety issue like your hub
bearing
My go-to with this type of noise is tightening chainring bolts, but you've
already eliminated this as it happens while coasting. I've never
experienced clicking as a symptom of worn bearings, but I've never owned a
zoot hub. If this is your mechanic's advice, and another list member has

Thanks Garth, but I would think it can't be the freewheel b/c it happens
coasting and pedaling.
I oiled my spoke crossings earlier and we'll see what happens.

I have heard that sound before on my Phil Wood freewheel hubs. It was not
the bearings or anything to do with the hub, it turned out the Sachs (7sp)
freewheel needed some lube :)
If it's a White of course it has a cartridge bearing , here is their
service manual :

Good questions.
It does it everywhere except the stand. Sounds sort of like a card in the
spokes, but intermittent and slower.

Does it click when the wheel is off the frame/in a stand?
Have you ruled out something silly like a cable/shoelace/zip tie hitting a
spoke/part of the wheel?
Does the click "ring out," like plucking a string, or is it more
dead-sounding? Can you describe the click in more detail?
Does it clic
We use White hubs on our tandems. That rear clicking you describe is familiar.
It's the sound of a White hub needing service. The bearings are relatively
inexpensive.

I agree with Bill. Also, it would surprise me very much if you wore out WI
bearings in that amount of mileage. WI builds pretty stout stuff. Are you
sure it's the rear? Do you hear it when it's in a workstand and you spin
the wheel?

1. With the rear wheel off the bike spin the hub axle in your fingers and
feel the hub bearings for yourself. If they feel perfect, they are. If
they feel imperfect, they might still be fine.
2. Make triple sure its not something with the tire hitting the brake or
the chainstay. I had the
Try some lube between the spokes where they cross each other? Sometimes
they touch and click, I have read.
Valve stem nut loose?
New tires? Mold whisker hitting brake calipers?
