Lemme guess... Mavic's? Mine would only happen after a long downhill (spent the summer in Colorado, they're hard to avoid!) and then would make a god-awful screeching sound.Originally Posted by OakLeaf
I was thinking it could be the freehub also, but mine never made any noise or significant drag until I was coasting above 30 mph for enough time to heat it up. LBS owner couldn't replicate it on the flats no matter how fast he got the bike, since he couldn't coast long enough to heat up (and therefore he wouldn't believe me... but that's another story).

I think we may have talked about this when it happened. Mine was so loud that cars coming the other direction pulled over.

Ha! Sounds like the same thing. Mine was just this summer, and it was terrifying when it would start howling. Just got home so I can finally get it fixed. Originally Posted by OakLeaf
