    What is this part ?

    Belt tension is best checkd with one of the fisycal gauges. Clicking noises are usually na sign that a part is not correctly tightend, I would start witrh pedals, crancks, "chianring"bolts and seatpost.

Post covid and wit the resent overstock issues at dealers and OEM's you would expect the market to slow down and a sharper cut in the...
