@mrgold35 Thank you and I actually have that same sound on one of my other ebikes in the rear wheel, it stops when weight it taken off the rear but starts when I sit down towards the rear, I checked everything and for the love of god couldnt find where this noise was coming from, I pretty much said to myself it has to be the spokes so I will look into getting them adjusted.. Thank you for your reply.I would also double-check the tire to make sure it is seated properly along the rim. I upgraded my tires to 120 tpi Vee8 tires and they are very soft/flimsy and sometime seat in the Radrover rim at different levels. I have to let air out and adjust if I air up from a flat. I have 3 Rad Power Bikes and pretty much 1/4 -1/3 of the spokes where loose and needed to be torqued to the same level (two 2016 Radrovers, one Radcity step-thru).
I would turn the bike upside down to see how much it wobbles or if you see the tire out of round while spinning. Another thing to check on is to see if the wobble is also with the disc brake:
- disk brake wobble: maybe a out of true spoke issue
- no disk brake wobble: tire issue not seated properly along the rim and/or just a jacked up tire
Not a 100% test. I heard a ticking sound with my spokes when I was riding; but, no noise with zero weight on the rear tire. It was from a few of very loose spokes causing the flex/ticking sound when riding. I still have a little side-to-side wobble on my rear tire; but, my brakes don't rub and I don't feel the slight side-to-side wobble when riding up 26 mph on some downhill runs.
Actually brought the front wheel of the City to the LBS to get a a Park wrench...turned out to be the blue one, which they had to order. Need to drop a few $$ there, too.As a long time mechanic and wheel builder I caution everybody trying DIY wheel truing yourself. It is very easy to mess up your wheel if you don't know what you're doing.
If you really want to try, learn all you can online and then work in small increments. Half turns of the spoke max. And for Pete's sake, buy a spoke wrench that fits your spoke nipple size and don't use pliers or an adjustable wrench.
