Hi Guys,
Got a bit of an issue on the Charge, which started after it was left outside for a couple of nights in rain/cold when my lock broke a while back.
When I start to ride the bike in the morning I get a knocking sounds coming from the back wheel, after about half a mile it disappears. The sound only appears if I havent ridden the bike for a night or day, it doesnt occur if i'm off the bike and spinning the pedals, and it doesnt appear to be coming from the bottom bracket, its almost like there is something caught in the spokes, but its louder than that and repeats as the wheel goes around (not as i push the cranks although havent tried it on single speed cog yet). Going to clean and regrease the chain tonight but wondered if you had any ideas.
