Squeal in rear wheel, advice needed
Written by cmcvean on 6/24/2010 at 02:14 pm
Hi all, decided to take my wife's 1990 PC out to a bike nite about 50 km from
home last night on mostly freeway and highway riding.
Upon arrival a fellow rider told me he could hear a squeal coming from the bike
as I pulled into the parking lot. Having ear plugs in I didn't hear it. When I
left I made a couple loops around lot and no noise. Hitting highway still
nothing but at about 100 km.hr I did notice the squeal returned. As I slowed it
would quit but return as I accelerated up past 100. Not a real loud noise but I
could hear it.
Upon arrival at home I touched the wheel hub on both left and right side and it
was quite warm. Not too hot to touch but getting there.
I guess my question is.... is the hub normally hot after riding or is there a
severe problem in there. Brakes seem to work just fine and bike has only about
42,000 km on her.
What say yee of fine mechanical mind?
Thanks
