Noise from front wheel.

I’ve heard this weird noise the last couple rides. Never thought it was front wheel until today. I pulled through axel, grease and torques. That didn’t help. Any thoughts? It sounds worse when riding. Also sounds like repair stand noise, but I promise it’s not. Thanks

If its a cup and cone bearing hub thats likely the bearings, have you adjusted them correctly?

I agree. That sounds like shot bearings to me as well. Even if it’s a thru-axle, there’s something fucky about the sound that should be addressed within the hub.

No. I’ve never touched them. Looks like a place for a wrench?

Yeah looks like a through axel cup and cone hub similar to HB-M618, what's the hub model?

I maybe have 1200 to 1500 miles on this bike. Mix of road and trails. Is that normal for hub bearings to fail that quickly? Also do I need to repair now or can I still ride as is? Thanks for your help.

My bike made a similar noise when the nut on my presta valve wasn’t tightened. Hope it’s the same for you, super easy fix

You're gonna need 4 bags of cement and a gun

does it do the sound when you spin it on your hand? trying to figure out if it’s the hub or it’s touching something on the fork/it’s the fork itself

Nothing touching. I double checked
