What is this noise
Hi all,
Since a few days my back wheel makes this noise and slows down really fast when spinning.
can anyone identify what it is? Do the bearings need replacement or is it another (hub?) Problem?

The wheels are 3 years old and have some 10k+ kms so I would not surprised if the bearings are worn out.
These are the stock cannondale topstone apex 1 2019 wheels. How do I know what bearings I need?
Best regards

It doesn't really sound like a bearing issue to me; however you may just want to overhaul them anyway. Typically you would gauge bearing issues by turning the axle by hand to easily feel imperfections.
My wild guess about the noise is that it's coming from the cassette 'catching up' with the momentum of the rim, which spins faster initially. As the cassette catches up, a pawl may click into the next position making this click. This would be normal and of no concern.
