Yep,, Id jack it up, pull the rear wheel, slip the belt off,Position it outta the way, install and spin the wheel, poke a skinny tube in my ear & give 'er a spin.. & see if I could find eggzakery whats squeakin,, Id hafta have a look at the brake shoes, see if ones rubbing, If you cant find the squeak, ya mite even pull the brake shoes out and spin it. Youre sure the tire isnt rubbing anything? Does it matter if youre accelerating or coasting or using brakes?
How loud is it? If ya ride past someone, say, walking on the sidewalk,, are they gonna hear it? If theres a squeak involved in every rotation of the wheel, is it a long drawn out squeak or a millisecond pulse?
Before I DID anything Id jack it up and spin the tire and put a mark on the tire, heck, anywhere,, across the tire at the bottom of the fender,, whatever,, You wanna know if the squeak happens at a different time during the rotation of the tire once you start messing with it,,
Does the rim run "True"? Have ya thumped spokes to see if theyre even? Now, the short ones wont sound like the long ones, but the long ones should sound about the same as should the short ones,, If the rim wasnt true and someone pulled it true with the spokes, then some will be tighter than others, but none of them should be a dull Thud..
