Well, I got my CCM back, CT bike tech stated he tightened everything up and re-greased the lower unit, it may have been missing grease. They road tested the bike but could not hear anything from the crank/lower unit. I took it out in the parking lot and noticed a ticking sound, coming from the lower unit, took it back in to the bike tech and he tested it and, of course, no noise. He rode it for a few minutes. Then I took it and tested it and no tick. The bike tech stated that perhaps with the gear I was in (4th (1-7), 2nd (1-3)) was too low and my pedaling speed may not have been fast enough. But my pedaling was driving the bike forward? Anyways, kept on test riding it and could not replicate the tick sound (while pedaling through many gears). Just this week took it out again and the tick sound came back, on an intermittent basis, seemed to go away if I pedaled backwards a bit. Strange anyone have any ideas on this.
