no, it is not about the sound being reflected by anything...

 

Have you tried having a person that is of different size than you ride it to see if it happens to them? If you are of smaller size, have somebody bigger and vice versa. I know it's a long shot but it could be suspension related and whatever weight/height you are is causing it. Nothing logical to back up the reasoning, just something to try.

 

you may not believe but I've tried I am 193cm tall, and have a friend who is 170... no difference, he immediately heard it...

 

Chain , Sprockets & tension

What brand and kind of chain (oring non oring ) and how old , what brand of
sprockets and how old. Are the chain and sprockets matched correctly correct
pitch etc. for a 530 setup. And then of course chain tension too tight it will growl
too sloppy it'll make a loose raspy ratcheting sound.

Chains and sprockets always tend to making such noises cornering if things ain't
just "so"

imo

 

Forget about the chain and sprockets, everything is ok there, no point in considering things that work well..

 

Chain and sprockets would have been my guess too. I've had them make a growling sound when the bike is leaned before.

Other than cupped tires, I'd have to hear it to make any more comments on it.

 

No it's no the sprockets...

 

Just a thought, remove the front mud guard and see what happens. The triple clamps may twist just enough in turning that it rubs, just a thought.

 

OK very thanks, this I am going to check and I will let you know, though it may not come soon...

very thanks..

 

If it rubs you`d see it by looking inside the mudguard for markings.
