me again rumbling/metalic sound
« on: 29 April 2016, 11:57:07 pm »
There is a frequent sound from bottom or  front of the bike.
The frequency is higher when speed is higher. Progress with the speed.
It doesn't mater what gear it is or neutral.
I thought the is a problem with breaks or bearings but when I wheel the wheel I can't hear anything?
Can this sound be from somewhere else then wheel.

Try removing your front wheel and turn the bearing with your fingers, if it has tight spots or feels rough when you turn it then they'll need replacing.

May not be your problem but an easy one to check
Complete fabrication, I didn't make it up!

Not really precise enough, but have you recently done any work on the bike?

If I know precisely I would fix it:)
The noise it's constant even when breaks applied.
I need to try to go for a hill and go on the bike with engine off then I know if it's engine.
I have ordered front bearing they are really cheap anyway.

Could well be the bearings, but binding brakes can cause this too, even when applied. Had that recently and just standard post-winter clean sorted it. Suggest give em a clean at same time as inspecting your bearings.
