Rear wheel problem on Raleigh X1 mountain bike
Three things come to mind when I read your question. First is the rear wheel bearings. Spin the wheel back and forth while holding onto it. See if you can feel any vibration or a rough feel in the wheel. I would think that if it were the wheel bearings you would hear or feel a grinding noise when you are riding.
If your rear wheel has a nut on both sides and you tightened them and that didn't work this means you must have the quick release system. You can tighten this by unclipping the wheel. Then hold the side that has the quick release lever. Hold onto the lever itself. Then turn the other end a little bit clockwise. Then put your wheel back on the bike and reclip the lever. It should now feel tighter. You may have to readjust the quick release lever a few times until you find the desired tightness.
Lastly the problem could be that your frame is worn out or broken somewhere. This would only show up when you are out riding because of your body weight and the strain put on the frame while you are pedalling. Also the part of the frame where your rear wheel sets may be chewed up. This would cause the wheel to never really tighten on the frame and could also cause the rear wheel to move.
I had a bike where the quick release wheel stystem went bad and it would not tighten on the frame. I believe the rod that went through the middle of the wheel hub was stretched and would just not tighten onto the frame.
I hope this has been helpful
Tomahawk E Series Exercise bike loud peddling sound
Standard WD40 is just a 'quick fix' as it isn't an actual oil unless the can is clearly labelled as "Bike All Condition Lubricant". It'll be best to buy a proper light oil like 3in1, 151 Super oil or an actual chain lube.
This 'clickey' noise. Is it random and happening every so often or is it a constant, regular click that changes with the speed your pedalling at? Check for slack in the chain. as you wiggle the chain up and down there should only be about a centimetre of movement in the chain. If it's too slack or too tight it can make strange noises. Check the axle bolts and nuts to make sure they're not loose. Check the wheel is mounted straight. If it's turned left or right the chain will 'skip' as it's slightly missing the cog teeth on the wheel. Use the frame at the rear end of the wheel as reference and measure how far the side of the wheel is from the frame on both sides. It should be about the same both sides.

New Balance 6100 Recumbent Bike making a clanking noise when pedaling
I have done a tremendous amount of research on this problem. New Balance (Fitness Quest) is out of business as of late 2012 and no parts are available. The main bearing or crank bearing set is 100% compatible with Proform part number 295560. Since New Balance put their name on this product, they have stated they will reimburse customers for the repairs.
