Hello everyone, I bought a new MTB have been riding for 3-4 weeks now and been hearing sound coming from my front and back wheels.

The sound is either from the hub, spoke or rims itself I'm not sure but does sound like from that area.

I hear the sound once or twice every rotation, so if i'm going downhill the sound is more frequent.

It only happens when I sit on the bike. Otherwise, if there is no weight on the bike there is no sound.

The sound is something like tension sound (but I can't confirm)

Any idea what's the issue and can recommend an experienced and affordable workshop to diagnose and fix?

I'm in Subang Jaya area.

Thank you!

Bought the bike online blush.gif

Hydraulic brakes, already adjusted the brake calipers to sit in the middle so it's not my touching my disc.

Update: Okay fixed the issue thanks to youtube, I have 3 spokes on my front wheel which are loose causing the sound. Already tighten slowly now there's no more sound rclxms.gif

Thanks everyone!
