Good call guys. Mine are VP Vice, but they are on my list to do sometime
this year. They are new as of September and working flawlessly at the
moment. I'll probably service the MKS pedals on the others' bikes first.
With abandon,
Patrick

You should grease the pedals anyway, for preventative maintenance. MKS are
notorious for not having much grease in them off the shelf.

Well Velcro and rubber are a far sight less messy than grease & bearings - glad
you've solved the mystery

Those who said "Saddle!" win partial points, but ultimately we were all
off. Rivet Saddles have a "bridge" rivet tying the two sides of the saddle
together (rather than lacing). Well, the metal rivets on the bottom of that
wonderful bridge were clicking into the top of my Nitto S83 seat post wit
That I can try straight off! They were all fairly tight, post and both seat
clamp bolts. Now they're tighter. We'll see how it goes next ride! Thanks,

Hey Patrick - I met to respond regarding your click but got distracted (not a
surprise). I had a similar experience while riding the STP (Seattle to
Portland) last year and the guy I happened to be riding alongside, he was on a
Riv, said that it often is a seat issue. Sure enough when I got home
Well I had a grand laugh at myself on today's ride. I kept trying to
pinpoint the source of the "click." Shifting forward, back, left, right.
Good thing I'm on remote dirt roads! Grin. The laugh came when I remembered
that my brain doesn't process sound directionality with any accuracy at
all.
The last such click I successfully diagnosed was coming from my knee. It
got better.

Check that all of your chainring screws/nuts are tight.

Hi Patrick,
The first thing I would try is a liberal application of grease to those
pedals , if they're serviceable. I've had this problem with MKS
pedalsexcellent pedals that they are...and fortunately , easily fixed
by aforementioned application of grease. It's annoying all right, and I'
Yes, I'm barefoot at 35˚F and up and have been on rides when I heard it, so
barring toe nail tinging, I can eliminate foot/wear as the source. Grin.

I think you pedal barefoot, but just in case, one more: one day I heard a
similar noise and discovered it was a too-long shoe lace end striking the
left chainstay with its "aglet", the plastic wrap at the end of the lace.

Patrick,
I was going to mention, in addition to all the other helpful and possible
sources shared already, that it could be a strap. I have a strap from a
Saddle Sack that clicks when it hits my fender and only when I pedal. It
took me a while to diagnose the source of the sound.
Good luck,

My BB is a Tange 107, Sugino cranks. I'll be replacing the BB anyway in the
next few weeks to a 113, which also involves the cranks getting worked on.
I'm pretty sure I flipped the pedals, but not positive. Could be a saddle
click, or a strap from the xs SaddleSack, which I have tucked in front
I had the issue with a cracked Shimano BB cup causing clicking.

my buddy had a pedal bearing click, but I remember his being top dead

Deacon, I know you're sensitive to noises and I can imagine this is extra
annoying to you.
Are your pedals double-sided? Meaning, if clipless, can you clip in on
either side of the pedal? (Moot point if you're using regular pedal
platforms, they're by default double-sided)
Make note of which
Most likely you have to grease the pedals, however if they have the
plastic reflector inserts, make sure that they haven't worn out and are now
loose in their mounts; and while probably not applicable in your case, make
sure the hard plastic end on your shoe laces aren't bouncing off the

What BB is installed? The Shimano ones often have a plastic non-drive side
cup. These do split and sometimes are just fine like that, but sometimes
they will cause a click. Like Patrick Moore said, it could also simply be
that the cup has worked loose.

This happened to me with brand-new pedals years ago. These were
clip-and-strap type with bearing adjustment accessible, and one was a
little loose on its spindle.

Probably the pedals, I seem to be re-greasing my MKS touring pedals every 6
months or so. The first time that I was trying to track down the click had
me in a panic though but turned into an easy fix.

I had a similar click/creak. I pulled the crank arms, greased and reinstalled.
Solved.
Silent again,

I had a similar issue, it was the rubber on the back of my shoes clipping
the bowed out chainstays on the bombadil. But I imagine barefoot you would
be able to feel that happening. Took me a bit to figure it out. Mystery
sounds are the worst, hopefully the rabbit hole won't be that deep. Good
luck!
I have had an annoying click/creak a few times - once it was my saddle. That
makes the creak sound like it's coming from the bottom bracket. Another was a
problem w the bottom bracket itself. Those are the only 2 I can remember
finding the answer to!

Double check chain links, you may have a tight one. Also chainring teeth.
One or two might be bent a bit.

They are rebuildable though, being VP Vice. That is a good first place to
start. Thanks!
