Hey all!

i just built a new special edition lager 2011. for whatever reason when i start pedalling on the right crank arm i get a sort of "chugging train noise" and if i pedal on the left its not there. can anybody offer some insight on what that is and maybe what i did wrong in the build?

one good thing is , i definantle have learned which is my dominant leg in my cadence. hahah


thanks for any and all help!

Make sure your BB is spaced right.

turns out its the rear hub, the BB is fine but the rear wheel set to freewheel is the part that is making the knocking sound. if i switch the wheel around to fixed its fine.

what the eff.

any ideas on how to fix it?

The chugging sound is coming from your rear hub?

Can you post a video of the sound it makes?
