On my new bmx, I get a rubbing sound when free wheeling. However this only occurs at certain points of the hub/cassette (not sure where it's coming from).
If it happens and I move the cranks round slightly it goes away, but if I move them back to the original position the noise comes back.
I've never had this issue on a single speed before so all advice is appreciated.
I have emailed CRC to let them know, but if I can do a quick fix I'd rather that.
What BMX did you go for? No idea about the noise I'm afraid though.
Chain too tight? I dunno, could be anything.
Lol I got a Stolen Saint. It rides ace, it's just this annoying thing.
My first guess would be the chain is too tight.
The chain doesn't feel that tight to me (similar tension as what I run my SS at)
Sure its not your trousers rubbing the tyre???
Had it up on the bike stand. Looks like at a certain point on the cassette it's ratcheting forward when free wheeling forwards and does similar when going backwards. It does it even if the chain is slack.
Looks like the rear hub is knackered!! Also the front hub has become loose Not impressed on a new bike! CRC warranty do your thing!!!
