Slight Grinding Sound - front wheel?
Today I noticed something odd. As I was rolling my bike forward (it was off, and in the Neutral position) I heard a slight grinding noise what appeared to be coming off from the front wheel. It kind of reminded me of the noise I would occasionally hear if something was stuck by the front wheel of a bicycle. It was not a horrible grinding like Grsshfhhghhhhhsrg!but more subtle like SHHHHHHHHHH...

Has anyone heard that? If one of you can, while in neutral and off, can you roll your bike forward and back let me know if you hear anything like a "SHHHH" sound. Thanks.

Is it the brake pads on the disc?
Does the whel spinn freely by hand?
Can you feel the point of contact where the noise occcurs by hand?
Have you greased the spindle or bearings in a while?

Re: Slight Grinding Sound - front wheel?
I think it may have been simply the pads on the rotors. I must have not paid as close attention to my bike when I first got in January.

thanks for the suggestions
