Out the saddle clicking noise

    I’ve had this problem before on both of my bikes, colnago c60 and v1-r, seems like it’s coming from the wheels when sprinting out the saddle worst and again up hills out the saddle? Last winter my lbs narrowed it down to the salt build up in the headset area causing it.

    I’ve tried different shoes new and old and cleats and the noise still persists, it’s so annoying having to regularly sort this, I’ve only washed the bikes twice since they got fully stripped down and greased, could water be penetrating the bb threads? The amount of built up dust/powder within the bb and headset is a joke and seems to need constantly cleaned out?

    Interesting read, I have a similar clicking when out of the saddle, right pedal around the 6 o’clock position.  Bike is being checked out before the weekend, will talk him through these suggestions.

    I’ll agree with a lot of the above. Stem bolts, chainring bolts are both likely, is add the cranks might be coming lose (some are notorious for it) but if it’s not that then press fit bottom brackets are also known for it.

    It is a known problem by Windwave. They are:-

    1. Dry fitted threaded cups from the factory is one easy remedy, but you need the Colago dealer tool.

    2. Setting the cups to the correct torque, again you need a Colnago delaer tool.

    3. There are also sadly a couple of faulty BB issues.

    I speak as an owner and victim all of the above points.

    Your Colnago dealer should now be aware of these issues, but mine wasn’t and still in denial 😉

Starting to wish I’d just purchased a press fit style bb bike instead of this threaded sleeve design. Hopefully there is a longer term solution to this instead of constant trips to my lbs.

    Press fit bottom brackets are notorious for creaking clicking and generally pain in the arse , just look how many threads are about it

    I have had the same issue
    I have had the same issue with my V1-r. Our of the saddle clicking. Ripped apart the bottom bracket and put some grease on the threads of the inserts. The delivered frame had the sleeves monted dry. When the fame flexed the alu sleeves moved inside the steel threads and made noise. Fixed.

    Lately I have had another issue with noise. The bike was noisy when riding uphill. A little carbon mounting paste on the contact area of the wheel/frame and problem solved. Silent and fast now!

    I had the exact issue on mine, was driving me insane!
    It was a combination of ill fitting QRs (as said make sure these are greased) and BB. I have a BB71 press fit, I removed and re fitted with loctite 641 between the shell and BB and for the time being at least I am noise free. <:P

    Sometimes my PX RT58 used to do this though not always . I have recently replaced my shifters and all the internally routed cables ,inners and outers, and the silence is golden. I think that sometimes, for some unexplained reason, the internally routed cables don’t seat properly and can cause an annoying creak as they move/flex inside the frame. Carbon fibre produces a distinctive high pitched sound compared to more traditional materials. So if all else fails maybe this could be the cause.

    I had this with my new bike. Only clicking when out of the saddle, when I took my bike back for its first service at my lbs I mentioned this, the result was the headset, grease added and tightened, noise gone.
    It’s a bloody annoying noise.
    Check the headset
