low speed squeal - speed sensor not sitting correctly?
 

Hi All,

I've recently removed the front wheel when getting tyres changed.
On fitting the wheel and driving round the block at low speed it is making a squealing noise.

Notes:
The speedo is working fine.
The noise hasn't subsided after taking off and refitting the wheel.
The speed sensor itself doesn't fit flush / flat to the wheel even when married up with even pressure on it.
The bike stalled when I turned it round in the cul de sac.


Maybe these things are connected but help greatly appreciated.

Looks ok! I would normally associate a squeal noise with brakes.

Thanks for the reply @nutboutbikes,
It is unnerving tho and it definitely didn't do it before.

Iv heard the speed sensor can become damaged when removing the wheel?

Anyone have any experience of this?

Make sure that the brakes aren't binding, ride it round for a bit and feel the discs with the back of you hand.

If its warm, then one of the pistons could be sticking slightly, causing the pad to rub on the disc, giving you that squealing sound

If you have a stand get it up and see if the wheel turns freely.

thanks maviczap and nobbylad.

the wheel's out at the moment to see if I could see anything obvious.
Will get it back in and try both.

thanks
