Squeeking when the bike is leaning

Postby jake1 » Sun Apr 24, 2011 10:04 pm

I recently bought a trec bike with disk brakes and i notice that when i am riding and the bike is leaning to the right their is a constant squeeking out of the rear of the bike if i lean the other way or ride strait upright it goes away I have elimated the steering gears and the pedals sine the noise is dependent on the noise i suspect the rear disk brakes but it does not make sence to me that the brake would rub only when the bike is leaning any sugestions
Also my brakes squeek when applied with a similar sound
Thanks for any help

It could be your rear wheel flexing or loose bearing in the hub.

+1 on that....Check the hub cones and see if there is axle play...Otherwise do a nut and bolt check and double check the allignment of your rear brake.
No applause please!! Just Money..Thank you..
