Either chain is tight or sprocket is a bit bent
Sounds like a tight spot
I didn’t even have the volume up and I could see the chain is to tight. Lossen it a little bit.
Half link + microgearing + chain too tight = noise
Also, if you add a new chain, driver or sprocket and they’re not aging or being broken in together they will make a noise.
Chain seems to be too tight. Start there.
Sounds like a bottom bracket failing to me
last time I heard this, It was only a matter of time before my bottom bracket gave out…
That’s from grinding on your sprocket it’s bent
is this a new chain installed? could be handful of things, from the looks of it, new chain onto a worn sprocket will create some crazy noises for the first couple rides, i would check teeth on sprocket and rear hub too for any signs of wear. if its the case of it being a new chain, give yourself a couple hard rides and should get better within 2,3 days
the chain can be tight, its the links, check theyre not seized if they are oil and or ease the pin on the link to loosen the links, also rotate your cranks backwards, what happens? if its not the chain, could be the bottom bracket bearings are cracked or broken, or same issue but on your rear hub driver.
