Sealed Cartridge Bottom Bracket
The bottom bracket contains the primary bearings supporting the crank spindle. Rhythmic clicking occurs when the internal bearing races develop micro-fractures or when the cartridge housing becomes slightly loose within the frame's threaded shell. This allows for minute lateral movement under the high torque of a pedal stroke, resulting in an audible mechanical click or knock.

SPD Compatible Pedal Set
Internal pedal bearings are a high-wear component and often the source of clicking sounds. If the internal grease has migrated or the bushings have worn thin, the pedal body will click as it rotates around its own spindle during the power phase of the stroke. Replacing the full pedal assembly eliminates mechanical play at the most distal point of the crank arm.

Crank Arm Set
The interface between the crank arm and the bottom bracket spindle (typically a square taper on this model) can deform if the retention bolt was insufficiently torqued during assembly. Once the interface is 'rounded' even by a fraction of a millimeter, the arm will produce a metallic click as it shifts against the spindle flats under load.
