Having some niggling problems, it's pretty new bike <100 miles
When I rotate cranks, chain is jumping up and down, like the chain is elastic and pull it down then go boing-boing-boing :? on a portion of the chain. The rest of the chain is free running.
Also I feel rough feeling through the frame, vibration being transmitted through the frame, and seat like bearings are is worn out (it's not)
And I get a annoying grating from sprocket like something is rubbing (like derailleur rub)
Chain is lubed and everything appears fine, but it's not. :?
On a workstand I'm adjusting chain tension and it doesn't seem to do much to cure the rough/rattle sound.
BB spins free,

Have you checked the chain for a stiff link, as that is what it sounds like.Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0

Alignment.
Your rear wheel will be at an angle."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Most likely your dead hub then. With the gouged cones etc."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."
