I ride a Felt road bike with a 105 9 speed groupset, and A-Class rear hub.
I have recently noticed a new noise coming from the rear - it it like a loudish click coming from the rear wheel.
It can happen if I am pedalling or freewheeling, but does not happen all the time. If I get out of the saddle and put most of my weight on the handlebars the noise stops, when I bring the weight back over the rear it will start again.
By looking at the logo on the hub, the noise seems to happen once per revoloution of the wheel, at the same point each rotation.
I know this might be too broad a description, just looking to see if anyone has any easy description before I take it to the bikeshop - you know the noise always stops as soon as someone else gets on your bike.

So is there any play in the rear hub? If you completely release the rear brake does it still happen? If you put the bicycle on a stand (or stand it upside down) and turn the pedals does it still happen?

Could be loose spokes? I had a very irritating noise coming from my rear wheel (only 400kms on it). I took an educated guess at it being the spokes and tightened each one 1/4 turn since the wheel was still true. Noise gone, back to blissful silent riding.

Could also be damaged bearings, cones, cups (not sure what an A-Class hub is made up of??). Take the wheel off and spin it while holding between your fingers. There's no load under these conditions so the sound may not occur, but it's an easy test. Check for excessive play or binding in the hub and tighten or loosen or even rebuild the hub if necessary. While you're at it check if the wheel is out of true... this might be a hint if it is one of your spokes. Also check your freehub doesn't have too much play. I have the same group set on my machine but it's on an R550 hub. The freehub has a little play which means the cassette wobbles ever so slightly, especially on the smallest cog. It's annoying but I've learned to live with it!
