We just finished installing a power front disk conversion and went with the upgraded tapered wheel bearings. Now it sounds like I have a bad wheel bearing except that zig-zagging has no affect on the sound, a kind of high pitched rattling noise.

The sound comes on at about 15-20 mph regardless of what gear it's in with the clutch engaged or not. Turning the wheel by hand doesn't show any grinding symptoms or irregular rotation and the wheel is snug, no slop or wiggle.

Before we take the thing apart and replace a brand new wheel bearing is there anything else it might be?
