Not car related but has echoes for four wheeled troubles.
Riding to and from work yesterday the eponymous folding bike was making a strange squeak going on for light grind type noise. The new one has a gear problem so I'm riding the ten year old five speed - wear and tear manifest from time to time.
Seemed more evident at speed and in higher gears or possibly when riding rough surfaces. Freewheel, pedal, up and down the hubgear; definitely present but infuriatingly intermittent. Rough surfaces might point to a problem with he suspension elastomer no amount of bouncing at traffic lights replicates. After five minutes give up worrying; it's not bad enough to stop me getting to Euston and home.
Folding bike up to stow it in the car I spotted the sellotape loop (strayed from Bromptonette's L plates) stuck round the mudguard stay in just the right place to rub the tyre!!
