Wore out three sets of tires already!
Okay guys, the Elgin has developed an odd "clanking" noise when riding lately. I can't seem to pinpoint it. If you have any clues, here are the specifics.
Sounds like metal hitting the frame, like a hammer or something.
It is irregular. So while pedaling, or coasting it happens.
Not the seat springs, no fender rubs, nothing stuck in the wheels or tires.
No loose fender nuts.
It started at the end of a 3 mile ride with no warning
I thought it was the hub so I disassembled the whole thing. It looked fine. Now it clanks only when I'm riding the bike. With it sitting on the drop stand I can pedal it all day and it's smooth and sweet.
Thoughts:
A bad frame break somewhere yet to be found
My skip tooth chain is stretched a little, but I'm not having any chain jump or slippage under load...could it be this?
