Title: Front tire squeaky
Post by: MoToFaLcon on July 05, 2014, 03:43:17 PM

I have a squeaky front tire and its very annoying. Started around 1000km. Its not the brakes, but possibly sand in the bearing maybe i have no idea? Does anyone know how to get rid of the squeak?  Is there a place to lube without taking the tire off?

  if your brakes is not the squeek, lift the front wheel off of the ground and spin the wheel and listen to it with a long screw driver one end too your ear the other against the wheel at diferant places till you find where it is louder that will be what needs cleaning and grease

The bearings are sealed BUT... You can remove the seals w/ a razor knife. Simply run the knife around the edge a few times, and pry the seal off. Then you can use any wheel bearing grease to fix them up.

Re-shape the seal, and press it back in.   OR   just get new bearings for under 20 bucks.
