Hey guys... what's up?
A quick question. I have a 2004 Demo 9, and it makes a "popping" noise when I pedal. On occasion, sort of like an out-of-round sprocket does on a brand-new BMX bike. My bike is about a month old, and it's still making the popping noise. I can feel it in the pedals when it does it, yet my BB, rear hub, and drivetrain are rock-solid and tight. Could it be my stupid stock chain?
I remember my 2003 BigHit did the same darned thing.. but I forget how I got rid of the issue.
Should I swap my chain out for a new Sram PC-69? I had awesome luck with Sram chains on my BigHit, and hate the stock Shimano POS chain thats on my bike now.
WHats you guy's opinion(s)?
Thanks!!
