ultegra acting up
hey,
so i bought a new trek madone 4.7 about two months ago, and i've had some problems with the ultegra. whenever i start pedalling faster or putting more pressure on the pedals it starts making this weird grinding noise really loudly. does anyone know what that is or how i can fix it?
thanks

If you bought the bike from a dealer he should do the first tune up at no cost to you.
Is the noise caused by the chain rubbing the front derailleur?

Is it possible that a brake pad is dragging on a rim?
Are the wheel axles fully seated in the dropouts? (Open and close the skewers with the bike upright and the wheels on the ground.)

You could need a rear derailleur cable tension adjustment if the noise is the chain rubbing against an adjacent cog. +1 on taking it back to the dealer for a quick look.
