knocking.....?

Hey peeps……not been on for a long time…been well busy!!!

anyway…been out for a blast most of the day up to “on ya bike” and given the bike a bit of stick… on the way home it started to make a knocking sound from somewhere around the front??? It only seems to happen when accelerating? It seems fine when going at a steady pace.

Its not engine related but for some reason I think it seems to come from the gearboxish area? (Makes a noise just after I change up a gear and pour some power on)… I did think it might be the brake pads clanging around…but hey….wadda I know

Any thoughts?

Cheers

Nick

Have you checked your chain tension Nick?
