Sorry if this is answered somewhere else, but I tried my best to google search this. So far, I've found nothing that matches my problem.
I'm also a first-time poster and relatively new biker, so please bear with my extreme lack of knowledge!
Bike: Stock 2011 Jake the Snake CX
Problem: *Clinking* Noise that seemingly emanates from inside the downtube, but most likely attributed to the crankset area. Noise only comes when I move the pedals either forward or backward by approximately 45 degrees or when I move (no force on pedals) the bike itself backwards but NOT forward.
This problem started after a few days of some big curbs and off-road trails. Changing front and rear gears don't seem to help. I've also checked to see if it was the chain rubbing against the derailleur...but it doesn't seem like that's the problem. I can only guess that something came loose?
Any advice is helpful. Thanks!
