Hi - wonder if anyone can help me identify what this noise is?
after about 300 km somewhere near the front bottom bracket (or Support) there is a rhythmic ticking (tick-tack or click-click) sound.
Link here:

the noise occurs in every gear
what could it be?
Is it in synch with pedal rotation? If so, likely not internal. I have had synchronous creaks that turned out to be my clothing, especially things in pockets, and rack mounts, and occasional squeaks after rain. They go away.

At 300km, use warranty before too much fiddling.

It could be a few things.

Check for play in the pedal, or the pedal securing bolt.
Loose fastener on the chain ring allowing it to flex.
Loose crank bolt allowing movement of the crank arm.

In my BBS001, I had a similarly timed sound. It varied between being a creak or click. That was due to the large nut that secured the motor in the bottom bracket being less tight than required.

Yours is quite a light click, so I suspect something on the pedal may be loose or on the crank arm or chain ring. It seems to be from the right side.
