Hi My triban 500 making annoying noise when pedaling. The noise is coming from rear wheel but I've been told that new bottom bracket can solve the problem. What do you think? What bracket do I need and where can I get it ?

I wouldn't assume its the bottom bracket as it could be any number of things causing the noise. I suggest you get advice from a bike shop or someone who has bike maintenance experience. As far as the replacement BB is concerned I am not sure which type the 500 has. The early T3s and T5s had sguare taper BBs but many people upgraded to Shimano Hollowtech which is lighter and compatible with all or most cranksets. chas could probably help here.

As phred1812 says there could be many reasons for a noise and it can be difficult to pin down with the bike in front of you, impossible without. There have been several models called Triban 500 so again without knowing which model with which crankset fitted I can't really help. My suggestion is if possible take it to your nearest Decathlon, otherwise a reputable local bike shop.
