Default 76mm Flywheels, annoying damn noise.

Its been bugging me for weeks and I can't work out what is causing it. Its a kind of stretching rubber glove noise that only seems to be coming from one wheel. I've swapped it with all the others and it makes the noise in any position. Made sure it wasn't rattling around and replaced the bearings and still it happens. I'm not exactly worried but it does get annoying after half an hour or so of it constantly.squeeking at me.

Any ideas?

stretching rubber noise..? Usually that doesnt make a sound.. But i think its ur trucks. Take it apart and put some soap shavings in your pivot cup and that should solve your problem.

Sounds...like a squeaky bushing/pivot cup issue...unless your core is separating from the wheel, which is not that likely...

..but if you're sure the noise is coming from the wheel, then that's what I'd bet it is.
