Ok I've had the new bike about 5 or 6 weeks now and started to notice an annoying clicking sound.
I only notice when in stood up over the bars, at first it sounded very much like the cables banging the bar but they arnt.
It's been driving me round the twist until this morning when I think I've found the source.
When I grab and squeeze the spacers on the headset they make the noise. They arnt lose enough to move or spin but when squeezed make a click. I think they are plastic made to look carbon but without taking them off not 100% sure. I'm hoping one has a crack or something in it which will explain the noise.
Is there something more serious I should be looking at/thinking of before I take it to bits to inspect and re tighten??
