Clicking noise

hi all,

recently i have noticed as i pull out of my drive way and brake. as the bike stops there is this clicking sound from the front of the bike.

i think it is somethin to do with the head bearings?
any ideas...i recently overhauled my forks and had to take them off...
i might have not tightened everything proplerly...
any specicifc points/reason that the noise could be coming from?

cheers...

just be wary of noises you hear with a helmet on...

Noises that are from any direction tend to always sound like they are coming from the front.

If it was a head stem i would think you would feel it through the grips, i could be wrong however.

I'd check to see the disc's arent floating too much

sorry Ment,

i am not too sure what u mean by the "discs are floating too much"?

and i think i actually do feel the click through the handle bars..as in its not just a sound, i can actually physically feel the click. or maybe thats because i am paranoid...

i will try tighten everyhting tomrro night and see what happens

cheers

ey biatchy,
not sure what your ride is but may be good advise to check if the wheel is not on the right direction??if your wheel has a direction arrow on it??if not try turning the wheel around disc's may be going the wrong way???or if the disc's are warn a bit maybe bured stightly causing this noise???

only a couple of suggestions
