Question is this normal.

[RonC]

When riding my bike. Get speed you cost, I am getting this slapping when starting to pedal, like the hub is not garbing right. It may be me, probably is me but it.
Is this normal?

I will make a quick video..
:hmmm:

 

[Norm]

Video. Yes, please post a video so we can get a better look.

Is your crank hitting something. That is a really loud bang, and it only happens when you are pedaling. Surely you should be able to visually detect what's happening.

sounds like a loose nut behind the wheel :rofl:.......seriously though, do you feel any side to side play in the wheel? That vid is not too sharp. Is the chain jumping on and off the smallest cog? If so it could be that you tweeked your hanger and the dérailleur is out of adjustment.

Are you smashing the frame with a hammer as you do this?

Just got the bike back they adjust all that, not chain jumping at all.
Yes it may be the nut behind the wheel. I rather ask look dumb, and not get hurt then not ask get get hurt..

No just pedaling... There is slack or play..

It sounds to me like the hub engaging. Every pedal stroke you're letting up on the pedal, then smashing down with it. If you keep consistent pressure on it, I would imagine you don't hear this. Give us a wider angle view of you making this happen. Where in the pedal stroke it happens, etc.

This sounds like the spokes making some noise to me. Do all the spokes seem like they are at the same tension?

could the bottom bracket be loose?

Will do, even when I riding and just let up, there is more of a delay in the hub engaging. I will try again..

You took it to where you bought it from correct, take it back first thing in the am, have them fix it on the spot.

You probably have 20 miles or so on that bike, that shouldnt be happening.

This hasn't finished processing, but this is what I think is happening:
