What I mean is, in the initial gear when taking off, there's a grinding vibrating that I can feel through my feet when I pedal. But the sound (which is like rubber being clipped with a fan blade) and vibration can't be duplicated when the bike is upside down and I'm rotating the pedals by hand.
Secondly, it doesn't make the sound or vibration when the wheel is spinning freely. Only when pedaling, and the moment I begin moving faster, or if move to a higher gear, the sound subsides.
Something about the bike, I discovered the kickstand was occasionally making contact with the tire, which incidentally makes the same sound, but I've made sure this is no longer happening. Additionally, and possibly related, the chain frequently slips, switching incrementally through gears, and falls off entirely around the pedals during high gears and abrupt shifts.
Thanks for any help!
