Hi there,
I recently received my new Wisper 806 bike via an online order (eBikes Direct). After setting things up I took it out on its first ride and noticed a loud creaking noise while riding. It sounded like it was coming from under me (I was thinking seat post maybe?) but as it only happened while I'm riding it's hard to pinpoint where it's from. After doing the obligatory Google, I checked the mudguards which seem to be clear of the wheels etc, and have used a bit of grease on the seat post incase it was that. I also have a second (comfier) saddle that I fitted to just to rule out any issues with the fitting of the original one) I took it out again to test earlier today, and the noise is still there. Would someone be able to advise me what else could be causing this noise and how to troubleshoot it? I took a video of the sound but it's not allowing me to upload it here unfortunately.
Also, the brakes are very squeaky, and the front brake doesn't seem very responsive at all. I am a complete novice to hydraulic brakes so haven't touched anything on them yet, but wondered it there is a fix for this (both issues, really) that would help avoid having to return the bike to the dealer, especially after such a long wait for it to become available!
Many thanks in advance.
