Himmiherrgott on November 29, 2025 12:04 pm Hard to say from the video. What’s your derailleur doing?
EZ4_U_2SAY on November 29, 2025 12:25 pm Is there something that counts revolutions on the bike? It sounds like it “knocks” each time the one of the pedals clears level on the forward stroke. Have you tried cleaning and lubricating?
