Subject:      Front wheel squeak

Both of my front wheels have a rythmic "squeak squeak squeak" that increases in direct proportion to my speed. Anybody had a similiar problem? I looked in the archives and one said taking off the trim rings cured his problem, but it didn't cure mine. Another guy said his brake shoes were cracked. Haven't checked that yet. Any other thoughts? Please tell me this is not a wheel bearing issue.

BTW, I still love my new Westy. When it runs on all four cylinders it's a rocket! (new temp II sensor on order).
