Bottom bracket problem

darrena8

Hi guys can you please help with a problem! I bought my 2012 specialized allez sport in middle of January and have clocked up about 400 miles since then!
I hopped on it the other day to do my usual commute and there is a horrible noise coming from the cranks near the bottom bracket, maybe bearings?
Will Evans cycles cover this under warranty and if not is this usual to go so soon?
Cheers

Is it happening in all the gears and is there any side to side play in the crankarms/crankset?

It's happening in every gear yeah but there is no sign of play

On closer inspection this morning I think it is the rear wheel, it has play on it and there is slight movement in the casette! Any ideas??

If it's cup and cone freewheel could just be too loose?

It's only five months old so they should - if they don't Consumers Advice is on your side but it shouldn't be an issue after five months on a new bike.
