Clicking noise from crankset A month ago I bought a Scott Aspect 60, and for about a week everything was ok. Then, I started hearing a noise coming from the crankset. 

First thought was that it was the front derailleur - after adjusting, the noise is still here.

Next, I tried cleaning the chain and lubricating it - didn't help with the noise.

The noise happens regardless how I pedal - sitting on the bike, standing, on a stand, forward, reverse.

If it means anything, the noise is gone if I remove the chain.

The noise is more-less constant, something like clicking, but irregular, perhaps more like scraping, but I checked, the chain doesn't touch anything other than the 
chainring.

Is there anything else I can do on my own?
You may need basic tools for most of the following, but if I were you I would check these components in this order:


Your rear quick release. If this is too loose it can creak or click. This is especially true for newer external cam (aka exposed cam) quick releases. This is the case more than you would expect and requires no tools to fix. For the external cam QR type you might want to put a couple drops of lube on the moving parts to reduce friction. If it's an internal cam type QR, just make sure it's tight.
Your crank arms. If they are not properly tightened or greased, they can also make noise. If they are especially loose you can ruin them or they can fall off while you're riding (but this is also true for any part), so make sure they're tight. 
Your pedals. Sometimes even when properly tensioned you will get a minor click from pedals. Make sure they're well greased and tightened to spec. 
Your chainring bolts. Same deal. Make sure they're tight and greased or loc-tighted.


There are other potential issues but the ones listed above are the most likely culprits that are most closely related to the drivetrain.
