I did 1,000 miles + last weekend with no issues. 1 mile to the store and I have issues. I guess it's better now.

Check tightness of the wing stay where it bolts to underside of the top of the wing. If slightly loose it can produce an annoying squeak such as you describe.



It has to be in the wheel. The squeak corresponds to the wheel revolution. I'm hoping it's just the cotter spin hitting the inside of the hub.


Could be the wheel bearing - mine started with a squeak, gave the hub nut a nip up and ithe noise went. Eventually had to replace the hub bearings but got a few 1000 out of it before needing to.
