Buzzing noise from front of bike
I'm new to road bikes and have found that when travelling on roads which aren't particularly smooth (plenty of them in Cardiff), there is a strange buzzing noise coming from the front of the bike.
The headset had actually worked itself loose (vertical play), but I've tightened the stem lower and the cap tighter and it no longer moves.
But the buzzing was still there occassionally last night. Is this usual - am I just used to riding an MTB with front suspension?
BTW, the bike is a Cube Aerial.
Thanks

the thing to try is let a good chunk of air out of your tyres and then see if they're still doing it, could it just be road buzz?
Then check cables on the frame etc.

Yes, I followed that procedure to adjust the headset. To be honest, I think it is just road buzz, as I've only noticed it on poor quality roads. Just a bit paranoid because the headset came loose. Having said that, I've only had it about 2 weeks, so might not have been put on tightly enough?
Could it be something as simple as a cable rattling against frame or bars??
