Tink Sound NOT Creak

    Lots of info on fixing CREAKS.

    My sound is a TINK usually on a power stroke on either 50/34 chainring on the (larger) lower cassette gears. Standing or sitting. Nothing while coasting.

    Fuji 1.1D Aluminum Frame @1000 miles.

    I have managed to eliminate all creaks, Stuck with the TINK noise which I guess to be a drive train generated sound. “I get” aluminum frames resonate.

    Lately after many hours of troubleshooting, I have lubed, tightened chainring bolts and contact to spider. I have my in tube cables secured. I have done the seat post check and checked the QR on the rear wheel. Stem and bars all torqued to specs. Chain is newer. BB is a remote maybe as my mechanic thinks it’s good.

    Can my chainrings be cracked or flexing. Both of them? Praxis Works. How can I tell?

    Not willing to spend on new ones as I have read of those that have and end up with the same problem.

    Any ideas?

    Spokes? I had a tink sound

    Spokes? I had a tink sound where the spoke tension wasn’t right. Can you try a different rear wheel?

    You haven’t said the type of crankset but if its not shimano then try tightening the bolt up, worked on a  Sram chainset of mine.

    I have a tick….  check for:

    I have a tick….  check for:  unaligned chain catching (but as this is easier to find I suspect you’ll have ruled this out already)… maybe a notched chainring …however if it’s consistant on a certain ‘stroke’…  then mr dear watson, I ‘d suspect it’s either your pedals or  your bottom bracket.
