Strange noise from the wheels
 

Driving home from work yesterday, I could hear a strange squeaking noise which sped up and slowed down with road speed. I never heard it over 10mph but its very intermittent. I haven't been able to find out exactly which wheel its coming from yet. Braking seems to stop it but they squeal anyway!

My first thought was a wheel bearing but wanted to ask on the forum incase it could be something else.

Any thoughts? Thanks in advance

Wheel bearings don't squeak .. usually they rumble. Squeaking is probably brakes.

To start with, I would check the obvious - brake pads. Also, check that the brakes are not binding.

Touch the wheels after a run and see if any are a tad hot. Might be a stuck pad. Or the slider has seized. I had this a few weeks ago.

I had a not dissimilar noise on my 75 - turned out that a handbrake shoe locating pin had pulled through the backplate and was rolling about inside the drum.

I had that happened to my rear brake last year. This is a different sound. A squeak rather than a metal-on-metal grinding.
