  • I don't know. I took bike with wheels (and cassette/rotors on, tyres fitted (tubeless)) and said "please put this together properly (hydro brakes, new chain, cabling, wrap tape up, tighten and tidy everything)Ta"

    I took it for a ride last week and the chain skips all over the block when pedaling, which I thnk can be easily fixed. The chain fell off the front ring (I'm willing to accept a non narrow wide chainring (and may actually be a middle from a triple) might not be up to the esoteric mix of altus rear, deore cassette, unknown chain - so I'm changing that). And then I noticed a lot of rattling and then a "thonk" when I hit two bumps. Not moaning about the shop or mechanics just want to know what to point out.

  • Definitely sounds like a headset. You should be able to test this by holding the front brake on and rocking the bike back and forth. Can you feel any movement?
