Clunking noise from front sprocket area.

<< < (3/7) > >>

Bradders:
Have just oiled the chain and seems quite a bit better but will check the sprocket tonight. Thanks for your advice.

Nurse Julie:
Sounds like typical seized/ dry links, check the whole chain to make sure all links are free and use plenty if good quality chain lube. It may even be a bit of grit or gravel causing it to not bend properly around the sprocket.

billywingnut:
Is your chain catching the chainguard?

Bradders:
Evening. Checked the front and rear sprockets and all seemed fine ( to my untrained eye). Also gave the chain a good oil. Seems quite a bit better, maybe will completely stop the noise when the oil works it’s way in more. Anyway thanks for all your advice.

Trigger:
Check that the sprocket bolts are not too long and that it is not a o ring or x ring chain  ;)
