I'm not having much luck at the moment. After getting one warranty issue semi-resolved, (still in progress but going in the right direction), I've now got a problem with my front wheel.
I bought it brand new so it's under warranty. I only got it last month and it's done about 75 miles. However, since the first use it's had a really annoying 'tinny' rattle over anything but the smoothest surface.
The first use these got was on the Great Manchester Cycle, and TBH I thought it was the timing chip on my race number rattling on the cables, but it's not. Everything is right with the bike, stem bolts, headset etc, and today I swapped the front wheel and hey presto, no noise!
I've emailed the supplier and I don't expect any problems getting it resolved, but I just wondered WTF could be causing it?
The spokes all have good tension, the bearings feel lovely and smooth, it's not out of true at all, I'm baffled.
FWIW the wheel is an Open Pro rim on a Hope Pro3 hub.
Anyone got any ideas?
