It's unlikely to be that the BB needs lube, unless it's been sorely neglected for years (or submerged in Sandy's tidal waters). Unless there are loose spokes, though, there's not much you can do about this and it will usually go away on its own after the wheel breaks in. ![]() Spokes can make a "ting" sound, especially if the wheel is relatively new. No big emergency here, but you need to tighten them to see if that's the problem. You can also get noise from a cartridge BB if the cups are not totally tight. (If one moves more than a small amount, get a torque wrench and do them up right.) Likewise with the pedals. Even if they don't seem loose it doesn't hurt to put a wrench on the fixing bolts and torque them a bit. The first thing to check (because ignoring it can rapidly cause expensive damage) is that the crank arms are tight.

It happens when there is movement and when there is NO movement (I use the brake, so the bike doesn'e move, stand using all weight on right pedal, and it makes the noise) I don't feel anything (like a bad shifted chain) when I hear the noise. I think the material of all these things is alluminium. The Farrago has fork suspension with 1.6in travel. Due to the frame materials, we estimate that this bike weighs around 25 pounds.
