  • Did you but this bike from a local bike shop. Such shops, especially the the Trek-owned store, typically will be very helpful with new bikes such as this.

  • Defective frame maybe. I've encountered forks that were exchanged by a big manufacturer due to clicking. They were safe but made a little noise while riding.

  • I would check if bottom headset bearing is clean. On my MTB, when sand gets into BB and headset, flexing of crankset and fork while pedaling creates clicks all over. I heard that precise machining of wheel hubs might create micro movement and clicking noise under load. Or as a @Noise said, probably defective frame/fork.

    @DoNuT Welcome to press-fit bottom brackets... Funny how it's all but impossible to find out what bottom bracket the Trek Emonda ALR actually uses. It's almost as if they know press-fit bottom brackets are NOT a selling point. It's buried in the description instead of clearly spelled out in the specs...

    Call me crazy but I just dug out this link from my browser history 3 hours ago and it now it is a 404, I swear the page for the ALR 6 listed a Shimano BB71 and that's why I went with Pressfit. If OP has a 2023 model with T47, he can be glad about it. ;)
