My bike makes a noise from the cranks Weird problem. My mtb makes this clicking noise at the same spot when i pedal. It sounds like its coming from the crank but if i backpedal it goes away for about 5 minutes and then comes back. Is it a locked up link on the chain? It's making me crazy. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Probably not a link of the chain. It really can be anything, but I bet it is on the crank arms, bottom bracket or even the crankset in itself. You should take your bike to a trusted mechanic, clearly explain your issue and make him ride your bike and feel the noise. It is probably something loose or a bit out of place.
