    So, I did lift bike and felt the sound was coming from a brake, uncertain witch on. I did a great cleaning with brake cleaner, then a good soap and water bath. Took for a ride today, dead quiet for first 30 miles. End of trip I once again hear a slight rotation. I am going to check tomorrow from a cold start, but I guess it's a possibility that one of the calibers hangs just a tad?? I cleaned the RF prior to brakework but the other side has only had an exterior wash, and brake fluid exchange, so who knows if last brake job was done to a high standard. It does not seem anything threatening by any means, heck most people wouldn't hear it, lol. I'll keep an eye on it.

    ps: after sound was slightly present, turns, leaning, heck dragging the brakes did not change it.

    Any update on this issue Spencer? I may be experiencing a similar issue, however mine is only present now AFTER brake work.

    I still get it. It will go away after a good washing, comes back after a few 100 mile rides. So I think some brake gunk causes it. I plan to dig harder when I get new tires in a couple weeks. I plan to just clean everything 100% as it should be, lube everything etc.
