Boardman HT 2011 Buzzing

I've just noticed on the last few rides the bike is starting to buzz and make a grinding noise coming from the front wheel I guess?
You can also hear this noise coming from the rear wheel also, as if a cable is catching the tyre at high speeds and making a noise. Also when your pedalling and move the handle bars side to side it gets much worse, and its very bad at high speed?
When the bike is stopped and you lift the front wheel it spins round perfectly and makes no noise.

could be a couple of things - one of which you mention; check the cable on the front mech isn't catching the tyre. Remember to check this in all 3 chainrings as when it's on the top ring (and so you're doing high speed) the cable will be in a much different position than when you're in the little ring.
As for the buzzing from the front. Maybe your disc caliper? If you say it gets worse when you "rock" side to side, you may find adjusting the caliper and ensuring your axle is tight may help.
The bike reacts very differently under weight, this is why spinning the wheels in the air doenst always highlight the problems.
If all else fails, get it to your local bike shop for them to check it.......or if it's new, get it back to Halfords (I would only recommend this for work under warranty before any of you start!)0 -
thanks, I think it may be the disc caliper but its got so many different screws on it, not sure which to try?
The noise definitely gets worse when you move the bike ie pedalling hard up a hill, or cycling fast on flat or down a hill0 -
Tyre roar maybe the tyres are pretty loud on concrete surfaces and hard pack. Doubt it from what you have said but it could be...Scott Spark 30 carbon custom build

Other thing to try maybe if you think its the disks take the pads out and go for a really really slow ride but don't touch the levers! That will add a whole world of problems. If its that the noise should stop just remember you have no brakes lolScott Spark 30 carbon custom build

Also check that there is no beehive under the saddle - you don't need one of those!0
