I just bought a bike cycle a day ago however whenever i ride it, it makes noises help plz?
i think the source of it is somewhere from the front, it was already fixed when i bought it, besides taking it back to the shop i got it from to fix the problem can anyone tell me how to fix this myself or what the problem may be.
21 speed 26inch bike
thank you very much for your help.
If it's a noise from the front it's most likely the brake pads are offset and rubbing on the rim or the wheel is incorrectly seated in the dropouts and the tire is rubbing. Lift up the front of the bike with one hand and spin the front wheel. If the brake pad rubs simply move the brake pads to center the rim between them. If the tire rubs on the inside of the fork, loosen the quick release (QR) or axel nuts and properly seat the axel in the dropout (the grooves at the bottom of the fork), then retighten the QR or nuts.
If more than that take the bike back and ask the service person to show you how to adjust brakes. Finally, if the rim is only touching/rubbing at one spot the wheel needs 'truing' ... a new bike should have wheels that spin almost perfectly straight (no side to side motion as they rotate). Again .. take back and have it fixed.
Be cautious using WD-40 on a bike. It's a degreaser and can harm parts of a bike ... e.g. it will actually lead to chain wear if used as a chain lubricant.
