My bike has deveoped a knock
Discussion
Back at the end of 2010 I decided to buy myself a new bike, having had the same one for 10 years. I diddnt ride it much over the winter and have only recently started going out on it once or twice for a few hours at a time each weekend.
However, last weekend I noticed a knock which seems to be coming from the pedal area. It's a dull mechanical knock that sounds once per revolution of the pedals - Only when under reasonable heavy load (going up hills).
It's a £500 Carrera from Halfords.
Could something need tightening as it is now bedded-in ?
Any ideas?

I had very similar this week - seemed to tie in with pedal rotation when under tension. Changed when I stood up and disappeared if I leant sideways trynig to find out where it was coming from.
Quick visit to LBS - they greased the stem and the handlebar assembly - and that sorted it :-D.
To my "expert" ears it was obviously a major issue with the frame or bottom bracket!!!!!
