kinda bike.
Don't forget, even properly assembled bikes develop squeaks and
creaks, 'specially after rain rides and time in general, even a couple
hundred km, especially many of the new, superlight bikes.
Anyway, if the answer was "take it back to the bike shop" we
wouldn't need all this technical advice and discussion, which would
make rbt obsolete, which would cause you a loss of daily entertainment.
OP could've figured that out himself, but wanted us to help him
figure it for himself. Our purpose here is to educate, empower/enable
people to fix things themselves.
But- the bike shop that sold it has a responsibility to take care of such
things, and they may be in a position to recognize what's going on very
quickly, since it's possible they may have sold a number of them and already
have experience with what causes what. Or, to put it another way, the
original poster may be able to eliminate his own hair loss by taking it to
the shop where either they've already lost hair over it and figured it out,
or they're about to. Either way you save your own hair.

Scenario: It is the future and I go to rbt to post a question, and I
find there is no provision for it. RBT is obsolete. Now a sign greets
me telling me to just take it to the shop and, if I want to be abused
and misled, go to rbr (which is now a multiple choice flame war). No
input needed!
