Question Creaking noise from NSF

I'm getting a creaking sound coming from the NSF wheel. It isn't affected by braking, nor does a sudden bump seem to disturb it. Speed does affect it, but only road speed. Changing gear has no effect on it. At slow speed it does seem to relate to a single rotation of the wheel.

I've had the wheel off today to check for anything catching. Popped the pads out and copper greased them up, giving them a good chech for uneven wear. All 4 pistons seem OK. There is no play in the wheel which you would expect if it were a wheel bearing, and a CV would let you know more definately. Short of the drive shaft, both me and my Dad are a bit stumped !



Any help appreciated
