Squeak? ***Fixed***

[Beehive Bedlam]

What is this squeak? It's coming from around the rear sprocket when the rear wheel is spun on the centrestand and it can be heard when wheeling the bike around the garage.

Given the last fiasco with the rear wheel it is starting to make me feel apprehensive that the bearings are going to collapse in
spectacular style. Again.

Video.

When I fitted the replacement used low mileage wheel I didn't bother to change the bearings.

There's no play in the wheel does this rule out bearings? Chain is also correctly tensioned.

One final thing the rear wheel is torqued up as per manual.

The only thing I can think of is worn cush drive rubbers?

Sounds like the tyre is fouling somewhere

[andym]

Why ask for help then down rate a suggestion?

A worn cushdrive would just create movement on the rear sprocket, which if you pushed your foot under the rear wheel then tried moving the sprocket you would be able to feel, or put the rear wheel back on the ground, Like this video:

The way you are able to turn the wheel and from the sound in the video, it sounds like the wheel is either slightly buckled and rubbing against something or isn't lined up properly and rubbing against something.

FFS you had over 50 pages of help to fix a spark plug, follow your haynes manual to the letter.... but down rate a suggestion

So you decided you already knew what the problem was with you bike before you made the post?

I have been around here a while and picked up a lot of useful advice, I've learned by my mistakes on more than 1 of my bikes, (emphasis on learned), throughout my biking years I've come across most problems.... including the rear wheel rubbing against the frame, I've also had a bit of movement in the cush drive..... guess which one sounded closest to your video

Maybe OP make him too much Fuck Knuckle.

I've just checked tyre (standard size) isn't rubbing on the frame/hugger.

Wheel is perfectly aligned.

Next.

To reiterate the rear wheel has developed a squeak like a creaky door hinge out of the blue. I'm completely flummoxed the squeak is coming from around the rear sprocket.

Got anything stuck or wedged in around the caliper?

[andym]

OK I will say this as politely as possible, but know it will still be down rated anyway..... but:

Have you tried spraying a little WD40 on the dust seal (where it touches the axle) on that side?

I bet that was the look on the last owner's face when you rode off.

Can everyone just stop trying to help this pleb? All he gives out in return is insults and abuse.

It does sound like something rubbing.

I would take the wheel off, lube everything, then put back together again.

untill op learns that video is supposed to be in landscape not portrait i will continue to hold him in the contempt he has earned.

Unbolt the rear calliper and move it out the way. Give it another spin.

WD40 has cleared it up. I'll take the wheel out and give everything a lube.
