I recently picked up a Trek 820 for a song that needed only a moderate amount of work to get into
shape, and the only outstanding issue (besides a frustratingly persistent front brake squeal!) is a
prominent humming of the rear wheel when cornering. I suspect it's the bearings, and would like
input on whether all they need is a clean and repack, or is this a sign of more extensive wear and I
should replace the bearings, cones, etc? There is a slight amount of play in the wheel, so it does
need a cone adjustment. When riding on straightaways, there is no noticeable noise at all from the
bearings - only when cornering.
