Weird sounds coming from back wheel..??

Mar 09, 2008 1 Replies

At slow speeds my drivers back wheel has a really loud tick. I just got new tires and it was doing it before that, so its not a rock. Just at speeds under 20 mph. Its sounds like a playing card in a spoke of a bike tire but



10 times lounder and not good sounding. Anyone have any suggestions..??

You need to take off the tire and examine the brakes, including the drum brakes inside the rotors, to see if anything is loose. I would suggest lifting both rear tires off the ground so you can turn the rotor by hand and try to determine where the noise is coming from.
