Problems with my cycle

[Kasio]

Hello, firstly I'd like to notify to any moderator reading this that I had no idea what sub I should have posted this question (possibly technical section?) I wasn't sure, sorry in advance if you have to move my thread.

To the point, I was out cycling today and on my return journey something went wrong.. well I think it did, it must have.. because when I done a full rotation of the pedal, each time in the same position I would hear a 'clip' or you know, I can't describe the noise with text, a little.. 'clang' - not too loud (although annoying). I stopped and investigated, but to find nothing wrong..but I am a novice so I didn't know what I was even looking for! strangely, when I moved up to higher gears and continued to do a full rotation of my pedals i would hear multiple clicks.. 'click,click,click,click' then it would stop for 3/4 of the rotation and as the rotation came to its final 1/4 'click,click,click,click' - I have NO idea what that was.. but it then stopped (as I dropped into a lower gear). my bike could be considered new, 2 weeks.

Does anybody here have any idea what is happening and how I could fix it? From where I purchased my bike they said I could bring it back to them within 4-6 weeks for them to check the chain etc for free.. so I will let them know of the problem also.

Also whilst I'm on the topic sometimes when I accelerate quickly sometimes the back wheel/brake area would squeak? I'm using v-brakes if that helps.

Thank you for reading my long post (if you did) and any replies are welcome!

TL;DR Problem with pedal/gear area clicking when I cycle and squeaky back wheel/brake area when I accelerate quickly... Help!

Maybe your gears arent correctly set up, I believe the cables stretch after the first few weeks of use and it needs recalibrating.

I guess the issue with the brakes could be more to do with using the brakes prior to the accelerating such as at a junction, maybe a pad is staying part on, arms not balanced or something?

The clevererer people will be along soon anyway im sure

Go back to the shop, don't attempt any repair yourself.
That's the advantage of buying from a shop rather than buying on line, you get after sales service!
It's not unusual for a new bike, or indeed any mechanical device, to require a little tweaking after it has been used in anger for a time rather than just checked on the bench.
