Trek ds 8.3 'clicking'

[naes44]

I have recently bought a trek ds 8.3. There has been a clicking that I can feel when pedaling....I checked the pedals and they were found to be faulty. Have taken the bike back to the shop, they removed the pedals and have ordered new ones for me. They also fitted a second hand set of pedals to keep me going until the new ones arrive. But I have noticed the clicking that I can hear and feel thru my feet is still there. Has anybody got any ideas or experience of what it may be???? Thanks

take the chain off the front ring. spin the cranks. listen for noise. or put your fingers on the down tube and spin again and see if you feel grinding or clicking. Might be your bottom bracket.

its a new bike. somewhat entry level. could be lots of things such as cross chain or perhaps chain ring bolts are not snug. perhaps even your pedal cleat connection. Cleats tight?

Crank arm not bolted on tight was a common problem with octalink cranks. Try pulling on the end of each crank arm at 90 degrees to the direction of rotation - can you feel any movement?
Loose BB would also present similar symptoms.
If both crank arms wiggle together then it's likely the bb is loose in the frame, if only on crank wobbles then it's the crank that is loose on the bb spindle.

Other common culprits of clicks: loose chainring bolts, loose rear hub (often fixed by simply tightening the QR skewer, or may need adjustment of axle cones if it's a loose-ball-bearing hub), loose cassette lockring, loose saddle clamp (or saddle rail moving in saddle).
