#114135 JDKoss (User) I dunno, press the button and find out... Junior Boarder Posts: 127 Front wheel grinding sound ... 3 Months ago   Hello all, My roadie has started making a sound from my front wheel when turning left at slow speeds. It sounds a little bit like a grinding sound and I can feel it in the handlebars. (At high speeds I don't notice it) Not for sure what it is, whether it is brake pads on the rotor (it sounds off even when not applying the front brakes and the front brakes tend to squeak when I apply them), or wheel bearing or tire. My tire pressure is good, 36 PSI in front and 41 in rear. Anyone ever had any problems like this? Ride safe...

Do you have enough miles on the bike to wear out a set of pads? Take a flashlight and shine on the pads to see if they look too thin. If it looks like it might be close, unbolt the calipers and make sure.   Logged     \\[IMG\\]http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii12/26curry/DSC05909-1.jpg;size=450]   The administrator has disabled public write access. #114148 billjr (User) RIDE LIKE YOUR INVISABLE!!!!!!!!!!!
