Hi guys,

Bike is making two distinct noises.

1) A grinding noise when it rolls slowly with my weight on it. It feels like it's coming from the back wheel and there is a noticeable tick/klunk on each revolution. Can't see any obstructions. Can't feel/hear it when going above 5kms/hour due to engine noise.
2) A rubbing noise when it rolls slowly with/without my weight on it. This feels like it's coming from the front brake - as if the brake pad is still slightly touching the rotor at some point through the revolution. You can feel a slight vibration through the frame & handlebars in sync with the noise.

Any ideas?

Also - any recommendations on who to take the bike to in order to have this checked out. I'm in the Sandton area.

Thanks
