Anyone have issues with it the upgraded drive making a clicking sound? It happens when the peddles are fully extended...on the way back down it clicks and I can't see anything hitting or catching.

See if the pedal arm is rubbing on the idler pulley or possibly the play in the sizing holes in the drum.

Thanks for the reply iceman. I checked and double checked. Finally I got my flashlight and after checking all the spots I thought it could be, I was stumped as I could not find the culprit. I kept looking to find the the cause was the new gt bearings themselves. The sprocket has some long plastic rod bearings that pop instead of roll. If I fully extend the drive the bearings seems to get caught up on something and they skip, pop, click whatever you want to call it. I thought this to be odd so I switched the fins to see if the problem persisted, and it did. I'm taking the sprocket back today I hope they don't give me a hard time with the exchange as it looks perfect, and rolls perfect off the drive shaft just as soon as you put it on under pressure it buckles...I hope this is just a fluke.
