Since it's brand-new, you can have your shop check it out :) You didn't attack it with a power-washer or something, I hope?

Yea hopefully you didnt powerwash it. It could be just some grime/dirt you didnt get off whem you washed it.

I didnt "powerwash" it but i did use a hose with a soft stream. It only does it while coasting and not as im pedaling.

Hub might be out of adjustment.
