It sounds like it’s flat, or the tube is rubbing on something. I took the tire off to check the tube for leaks (by putting it underwater); I found one, but I think it was from me taking it off badly
Anyway, I patched the hole back up, put everything back together, and it’s still making the weird sound.
I’ve had it for something like month and a half (I can pretty much ride it, but I need more practice getting on), and it just started sounding weird last week.
On my bicycle tires, if they have a very small leak that I can’t even hear, they can still go entirely flat overnight. So if your tire isn’t going flat overnight, it’s not a leak that you’re hearing. And if it’s a leak, you’ll hear it whether you’re on it or not.
Does it only happen when you’re riding? Can you tell if it’s worse on one part of the revolution than the other? Do all the spokes seem reasonably tight? Are the bearing blocks snug but not too tight? Does putting a drop of oil in the bearings make any difference? How about a drop or two of oil in the pedals?
It feels more like it’s the tube rather than the tire.
I’m pretty sure it’s not a leak, it just always seems flat… That might just be because I’m fat, but I’m only like 120 lbs. I haven’t noticed a difference on different parts of the tire.
