L.swartz Posted May 24, 2019 Share I just got a new rook race 1 fixie and when i pedal it's making almost like a rattling/grinding noise by the cog?I googled it and i think it could be that the chain and cog are not inline.I measured it and its about 4-5mm off.Should i take it back to the shop?

RobertWhitehead Posted May 24, 2019 Share If it's 4-5cm off then you may have quite a big problem . It is quite simple to align if you want to try it yourself (only if going back is like a day long train ride ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Blaze Posted May 24, 2019 Share Possibly wrong length BB. Take it back and I'm sure the Rook dudes will sort it out for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karman de Lange Posted May 24, 2019 Share I have to assume you mean 4-5mm , not cm.? if mm, it should be ok. Check tension, might be to tight, also make sure its lubed. then go for 2-3 rides and see if still noisy, might need to bed in a bit.

BuffsVintageBikes Posted May 24, 2019 Share Rook's Instagram post today states "The first year of owning your Rook, our workshop is open to any and all tune ups". Sounds like they'll take good care of you Hairy and L.swartz 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King_Crispy Posted May 24, 2019 Share Loosen the chain a little, and lube it. It should bed quickly as pointed out by Karman.Don't always trust Google. Try googling a medical self-diagnosis when you're ill:you'll swear you have a terminal disease.Trust The Hub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
