The sound was a loud growling sound. You could here it when you went by a guard railing, but by the time I got to where I could find a shop there were no looking for it, it was louddddddd! It sounded like the gears in the rearend were all in peices. Not very good luck, but we found a wonderful dealer in Lexington, Ky he put a whole new wheel on the bike so we could continue on our vacation.
