Hi All,

The rear wheel on my road bike has started making a nasty knocking sound.
I had it on the work stand last night and was trying to index the gears, but I have noticed the knocking over the last few days.

It happens both when pedalling as well as when free-wheeling. Can't seem to pin-point exactly where it is coming from, and nothing seems to be clashing/getting caught anywhere.

Have taken the wheel off and it spins freely etc.

Any ideas what's causing it?

Try moving the wheel side to side (left to right) whilst it is in the bike frame, it could be loose cones.
