Yes, I am your typical female, identifying what's wrong with my bike by the strange noise it is making.

I've never heard this sound before in the 10 years I've been riding it. It is almost a squealing sound, kind of high pitched, not so loud as to distract others but loud enough to be very annoying when riding. Say "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" in a high pitch. That's what it sounds like.

It just started doing it so I brought it straight home and parked it until I find out what the problem is.

It happens when going over 30mph (going around the block won't duplicate it) and gets really loud when accelerating,

Any ideas?

Sounds like a bearing is going out. How many miles does it have?
