problem at rear wheel?
I went to ride today and as i'm leaving i hear this clang coming fom the rear wheel area.I first thought something was hitting the fender but no.It's like something is hitting but cant tell what.I've looked and there is no obstruction anywhere.It would clang as i moved the bike and the wheel turned but it would only clang intwo locations 1 would be louder than the other as far as i can tell.It does sound as the fender is being hit but its not.I'm not mechanically inclined so if anyone has any opinions or similar situation please chime in.I dont know but maybe bearings?

RE: problem at rear wheel?
Not sure if this will help, but last year I had what could be described as a scraping sound on the left side of the bike, but only at certain speeds. It turned out to be the pulley just barely scraping the inside of the swingarm. I found it by doing a visual inspection; there were a few scratch marks on the pulley. Do you have any noticeable scratches are scrapes anywhere? What side is it coming from?

Not really sure what it is. Could be wheel, tire, belt, or brake related.
Can you jack the bike up somehow, so you can rotate the rear tire slowly to see what is clanging?

RE: problem at rear wheel?
I didnt go out.The brakes work but i got a feeling that i probably dont have any pads left which is why i was getting the noise when the wheel rotated since they were against the rotor.Maybe i'm at metal.So wont be riding till i get my brakes done.Taking it to my mechanic tomorrow or tuesday.
