  1. Bought a 7200 FX and very happy with it except when I have a light clicking
    noise in the rear hub area. When I have it on the repair stand and rotate
    the wheel, I can hear the clicking. Is this normal? I've got about 100
    miles on it. Thanks for comments!

    Common clicking is from "free-wheeling" where the pawls are ratcheting.
    You can also get some clicking from bearings... and some is "normal" but other could indicate inadequate lubrication and/or hub adjustment.
    A trip to the shop where you bought it may be in order. Many shops would like to have you bring it in at this stage for a "free 100 mile check".
