Weird noise this morning... (Read 111 times)

skatnbnc Serious Thumper Offline Spinning Pink Posts: 1286 New Bern NC Gender:	Weird noise this morning... 06/02/08 at 06:53:46 Its damp here and it rained last night. So I got the the first light on Suzi this morning and squeezed the brakes only to hear a really weird loud almost grinding noise and feel both brakes vibrate ~ WTH! I immediatly checked everything, and found nothing. Could the high humidity have caused my front brake to slip and squeal?

What you may have heard was your jeans scraping the asphalt as you scooched along. Are you sure you didn't leave the bike home?
