    Rear wheel squeak

    Last night whilst pulling my bike into the yard (neutral with me physically pulling her back down my drive slope) I noticed an intermittent squeak from the rear wheel? This is my first bike so every squeak etc is a learning curve! Any ideas you guys who have more experience than me?  :440:

    Most likely cause is the rear brake.

    The caliper moves slightly from 1 side to the other. Physically pull it each way and see if the noise stops, to prove it.

    I took mine apart and put a little copper grease on the back of the pads, which cured it.

    Don't worry it's nothing. If you can hear it while you riding it, then put some of copper the grease

    What you described (vibration sound/feeling at low speeds) is what I have just experienced today whilst riding. Turns out it was my chain which I had out too tight. I adjusted the chain and now it's fine. Check your chain mate.

    The rear wheel squeak I posted about comes and goes, but I will try the copper grease as suggested. Thanks guys.
