When I corner the rear wheel emits a howl, which doesn't happen when I'm vertical. Someone suggested it could be the rear wheel bearings.

I have had the bike serviced at Auto Atlantic about a month ago, so I know every this else is alright, and they replaced the rubber things inside the rear wheel so it can't be that.

When looking at the rear wheel from the back it seems that the tyre is very close to the chain gurd, but it can't be that as there are no abrasion marks on the tyre.

1) any ideas what the noise could be?

2) is there anyone in Cape Town who can have a look and also fix this if found? It doesn't have to be this week, but sooner is better I think.
