I have noticed that I get a funny Rr-Rr-Rr-Rr sound while in a lean. Has anyone else noticed this? It don't know if it could be a bearing wear noice (15K on the bike) or some funny wear to the tire. The bike feefls stable but the noise makes me a bit uneasy.

Thanks.

This question has come up many times. It's almost always tire wear. Run you hand across the front tire, is it feathered and uneven? If it's the original set of tires you're due for a new pair...

Let me guess... you are running Metzelers ME880 and your rear tire is a bit used up. If it is so the don't you worry about a thing, it is the infamous howl.
