Funny noise in bike on start up today "scritch, scritch" in sync with
wheel. Rode 1/2 block then turned around. Both of us heard noise.
Haven't tandemed much past two months because of too many
weekends working and pilot OOT when I am in, so not sure when
this happened. Definitely wasn't there when I last stoked in Sept
(too long off tandem).

Wheel to be sent to Rolf for their perusal. More later. Warranty is
1yr, (Aug '07-'08) No we didn't hit something, but team weight with
bike is at upper limit for Rolf from what I hear (#360).
