Hello,

I'm tracking down this weird noise and I'm not sure where it's coming from. I can feel lack of smoothness when pedaling backwards and then I hear this noise....



Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Steve
 
Sounds like a bearing slowly giving up the ghost.

Then again it may not be. That's just how it sounded when it happened to me a few years back.

Other possible issue is a slight missalignment in the rear derailleur. Gears will work well when pedalling but back pedaling causes a lack of smoothness sometimes.

Perhaps also the freewheel needs checking.

You really need to take it to a shop.
