    If you don't know, and it seems neither does your mate. Go a bike shop, then let them deal with it.

    If it's from new, take it back to the shop.
    It'll still be in warranty and it's worth taking advantage of warranties when you've got one - cos it's costly when they're not covered.

    Also worth noting if you try and fix it, and screw it up, and then have to take it back anyway, chances are you'll invalidate the warranty which will cost you œœœ to fix.
