Cheers Mike

Wheel is at the motorbike shop , to pick it up tommorrow .

Never did get lubing the chain to try it,to eliminate the noise from the front end ,wont manage that till i get the rear wheel back on.

Just wondering if the low p.s.i on front tyre would make the noise i described earlier

Hopefull i'll get to the bottom of it tommorra

Sorry too hear about your tyre problem Stevie

Very annoying indeed. I guess the main thing is you found the problem before anything worse happened

Chain cleaned and lubed and adjusted a wee bit ,rear tyre repaired,both tyres at correct pressure, still gettin noise from front end

Done wat Timbo said,took a screwdriver and parted the front pads at side of road,then freewheeled from kinda 40mph to a standstill , 80% of the noise went away

Tried it again n again just to make sure.

Deffo somethin to do with the discs/pads , yet none binding, can freewheel for ages

I'll just put up wae it

Tim,
before my run on sunday,i took calipers off and pads out ,im 90% certain a small bit of grit fell out, i heard something but couldnt find it

Anyway ,pads were a bit glazed ,so i roughed em up a bit ,with scotchbrite.
Done around 240miles on Sunday and never heard the noise at all

Cheers
