Hi All

I have just been out on my new bike but noticed theres a rattling in the back wheel :( , which sounds like theres something in the rim.

Before I phone Winstanleys and give them what for, does this sound like something that is easily resolved by myself or should I request a replacement? I'm itching to get out on the road so hopeful I wont need to replace.

Thanks

    check the lockring on your valve stem is tight (or remove it).

    objects (most likely nipples) can get in the rim walls and float about.

    Thanks for your help!!!!
