I'm getting a rear squealing noise from I think from the rear. Notice it as I slow down and not applying any brakes. At high speeds can;t hear squat so don;t know if it squealing is happening or not. Need to pin point it more but thought I'd get a jump on asking.
probably the belt. get some synthetic spray lube and soak a rag with it so you can rub it on the outer edge of the belt (where it tracks against the pully) if it goes away then you have your answer.
I'll do that.. I noticed yesterday (pretty hot and humid) after about 30 minutes of riding I started hearing the noise. Today, cool and not humid, and did not notice any noise. road around the parking lot when I got to work and nothing.
But, I'll do as recommended.
Also, I need rear brakes. Would that cause any noise even without applying brakes. I guess I'm thinkling hot and humid weather cause any expansion around any braking parts? My guess is no...
