I got new tires on the bike and now it seems to whine with pitch varying with speed, is that just because the tires or new, or should I be worried at all?

you ever blown into a glass bottle and it makes noise....

no worries, but check your torque settings on the axle bolts JIC unless you know for sure its coming from the tires

12/13/2006 9:20:17 AM

Yes,

so yoru sayign that hte new tires are resonating.

BTW, this didnt happen with the old tires, thats why im asking, i know tires can make sound, but this being my first bike, im trying not to die because of some stupid fuckup.

i'd be more worried about wheel bearings

Im honestly not srue where its coming from but the only change was getting the new tires. I had them done at North raleigh Cycles, the guy seemed pretty knowlegable.

I was about to say drinking and riding aren't good combinations... its early for me.

check the chain tension and make sure it's well lubed.

mountain bike knobby tires will make whining noises

but I gather this is a motorcycle

Its only happens since i got new tires, so I suspect that has something to do with it, i guess it could be the bearings, and ill relube the chain.

Make sure to check the tension on the chain. I doubt lubing it will make a difference but it won't hurt.
