Lately, as in over the last two weeks, I have noticed a noise when riding my bike, it's like an "on off on off on off" brushing noise. It's got a little worse so i'm now quite concerned.

My first thought is a warped brake disk, as the "on off" rate does get quicker with the bike, but to be honest, doesn't sound like it's as quick as the wheel if that makes sense. That made me lean towards the chain, i recently adjusted my chain, there is a possibility it might be a fraction too tight, could this cause it?

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks, Tom.
