Noise pedalling up in the sadlle

Hello,

I just got a new Neo bike and everything seems OK except when I'm pedalling up in the saddle. Especially at lower cadences (and low power) there are knocking sounds coming from the pedals.

This doesn't happen at all when I'm pedalling sitting down. See those videos:

Does this happen to you or is there something worng with my bike?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Best regards

Oscar

Did you figure out the solution to this issue? I am getting the same

It wasn't a issue in the end. Hard to explain but it is related to the way I pedal. I had "dead points" during my pedalling, specially when I was out of the saddle. It is like this bike is exaggerating my lack of pedaling technique. You have to pedal doing a complete cycle, applying power during up as well. Of course select always the right gear to have enough power.

Good to know. Were you able to overcome it with practice?
