Please have patience whilst I get used to this bike!
At times riding on gravel and on lose stones going uphill I heard a tinny rattle kind of sound. It was not very confidence inspiring with regard to tackling  tough sections with gusto.
If the bike had a chain it could sound like violent chain rattling.
On my return I have looked at everything and all seems normal. The only thing I have noticed is that the bash plate is rather tinny and could make that kind of noise when stones hit it.
Has anyone else experienced this and have  confirmation as to the cause?
