i have a new bike, a gift.

its a mountain bike...

2 opti-dex to it in each side near where you hold when riding the bike.

its always makes sounds when im going too fast or not even that fast

tsk...tsk...tsk...

i though the opti-dex has something to do about it, but i dont even know what the opti-dex does, whats that anyway?

how to fix my bike?
the left opti-des has numbers 1-3 in in and the right one has numbers 1-6 in it.......
 
Problems with new bikes should always be referred back to the retailer before you even think about repairing it yourself, any good bike shop would want to make sure any bike they sold was fit for purpose, so take it back where it came from, if it was bought mail order, ring the supplier, they should tell you to get it seen to locally and send them the bill.
 
The opti-des are the gear shifters.
The right one changes the gears on the chain-rings on the back wheel.
The left one changes the gears on the rings near the pedals.

Most proberly the gear cables just need some adjustment. Since it's a new cable, it has a tendency to stretch when first ridden.

Take the bike to the shop where the bike came from (if it was brought from a shop) & they should fix it for you for free & teach you some of the finer details about gear changing.

Or any decent bike shop will be prepared to give you some help & advice for a minimal charge.
They'd explain things better than I can.
 
Hmm...I'd first look if the 'tsk tsk' noise is in synch with the paddling frequency or the wheel's rotation frequency. That would tell you where to look at.
