#126694 Frank_W (User) Hitting deer -- in the FACE!! Platinum Boarder Posts: 1285 Squeaky front end... 1 Month, 2 Weeks ago   My front wheel has developed an annoying squeaking since I removed the wheel and replaced it, after my flat, a couple of weeks ago. Any ideas what it could be? Brakes or axle, I guess... Just not sure what to do about it.   Logged     It\'s easy to tell who your real friends are: Lock your dog and your wife in the trunk for an hour.

But ... raise if up and start spinning the wheel to find where it coming from.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 1285 Re:Squeaky front end... 1 Month, 2 Weeks ago   Okay... I lifted the bike and spun the front wheel. I can hear the "hissing" of the tire as it runs through the calipers, but no squeaking. So... What now?   Logged     It\'s easy to tell who your real friends are: Lock your dog and your wife in the trunk for an hour. When you open it, notice which one is happy to see you.

Jacked the bike up, dropped it down so that the front tire was barely on the floor, pulled the pinch bolt and axle, greased the axle, slid it right back in, put the pinch bolt back in, torqued both of them to spec, lowered the bike and pulled the jack, all in approximately ten minutes.   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/10/05 19:35 By Frank_W.   It\'s easy to tell who your real friends are: Lock your dog and your wife in the trunk for an hour.
