Clunking noise from front sprocket area.

<< < (2/7) > >>

Rob62:
Check everything out as above, but it may just be a normal sound of the chain on the sprocket, some bikes do.... maybe a bit of chain lube will help

Bradders:
Thanks for your replies guys. Is the front sprocket easy to access so I can check?  I’m not much of a mechanic!

mike the bike:
Remove the gear change linkage (10mm spanner), Remove 4 x screws,  pull off cover et voila, there's the sprocket.   Check it's not worn.

Bradders:
Thanks very much. Shall have a look when I get home from work tonight.

hairygit:
Also check the entire chain length for a stiff or seized link, it makes an awful sound if you have one. I had an "O" ring chain seize a link on my 750F1 many years ago, took ages to finally find what the problem was. Have never used an "O" ring chain since!
