I am having an infrequent (usually only after bumps/rougher surfaces) tapping noise from my carbon look 585. The tone is pretty similar to the tapping noise that you sometimes get after changing gears with the ultegra shifters (or just tapping the shifters themselves).
I'm not used to riding either (a) geared bikes, or (b) carbon frames so I'm a bit at a loss what it could be, and paranoid about carbon failure as it's a second hand frame. Any thoughts what a tapping noise could be? I don't think it would be the carbon falling apart... would it?
