I got an intermittent squeak on the way home just now. It didn't modulate with application of brakes or with acceleration/deceleration.
Is this a symptom of a wheel bearing failure?
I didn't feel anything odd through the bike.

Yes it was the bearing in the front left.
I was REDICULOUSLY lucky that this happened three miles from my house at 35 miles per!
I needed a new tire anyways : )

Nate:
where is the seal did it go away?
glad you caught it,

I have to ask the squeal was audible on take off? there is a faint high piched noise that I pick up on take off and I have not been able to pin it down now I'm wanting to take off the wheels on my seld for a look.
good luck

It wasn't faint at all. It echoed off of a nearby factory building.
about the seal: see the top pic? there was shrapnel sticking out of the lip.
I guess I should have drawn an arrow. I ripped off the seal with a pick.
OH! and I didn't feel anything unusual through the bars.
