So I pulled the airplane out of the hangar to go to Detroit Lakes this morning, and heard a light clicking sound coming from the right main. Sounded like you were popping bubble wrap. It was roughly 1-2 clicks per revolution. Was still doing it when we got back, no worse, no better. A friend suggested a wheel bearing, any thoughts?

Probably the brake contacting slightly.

If you still have the drum brakes it could be a broken spring. I would definitely remove the wheel and tire for a check before next flight.

Ended up being a loose wheel weight. 97 cents and it was fixed, I like that.
