Last month I bought the Schwinn Meridian trike that I ride around here in Sarasota. However, it makes a clunking noise in the rear train on the right side. The faster I pedal, the faster is the clicking/clunking noise. Some has suggested that it is a problem with the bearings, others have said maybe the rear brake. Being a woman of 78 and not knowledgeable about bearings and brakes (idem for my husband), I am thinking to hire a truck and take it to a repair shop.

Question: is there any particular bike repair shops you recommend around the Sarasota/Bradenton area?

Is there something simple I can do with pictures to test whether the rear brake attachment or the bearing is the problem?

Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions!

hi Carole!
I remember someone from Sarasota joining the forum a few weeks ago.

@Taylor Alcorn do you know any good bike shops around Sarasota?
