Hi all
Here's the problem I am having and I hope someone could give me a good idea of what is wrong and possibly how to fix it.
My rear wheel makes a "rubbing" noise that is in sync with each revolution of the wheel. Very similar to a wheel that is not tru and as the one side comes around and barely rubs the break pad. That's what I thought it was at first but nope, it clears easily. The tire isn't rubbing anywhere and nothing else is touching it. It also only makes this noise when I am actually on the bike, when I put it on the repair stand the sound is non-existent. That has led me to believe that it is something with the rear hub possibly and when there is weight on it, the noise arises. The wheels are Mavic Cosmos, 2 years old, 4500 miles on them.
Anyone know what this might be or how to fix it? I'm gonna try to get it to a shop soon but it's my only wheel set and don't really want to be without it for a few days.
thanks in advance!
John
