Hello. My kid upgraded from a 12" Cleary Gecko to a 16" Guardian. The Guardian came mostly assembled (just add handlebar and seat) and we immediately noticed a loud clicking noise when he started riding. On further inspection, it's coming from the wheel hub assembly and only occurs while coasting. I know nothing about bikes, but doesn't seem normal for a singlespeed hub as it's quite loud, juttering, and enough resistance that it slows a coasting wheel down quickly.
Here's a short video: https://photos.app.goo.gl/YREYkJadnm6rBCS18
I'll contact Guardian, but wanted an expert opinion in case they claim it's normal.
Thanks in advance!
