I have a squeek in my rear wheel at low speeds. I didn't think it was anything until I started getting this shudder of vibrations in my handle bars when I take off from a stop. Are they related? I was thinking wheel bearing. but I dunno. any suggestions?

Check the easy stuff first, chain tension and lube, sprockets tight, brakes not binding, etc. Does it squeak with each wheel rotation?
check the drive cushion bushings also. the rotor should not woble or twist. snug fit is best.
edit: also wheel bearings

not every rotation, more of an intermitent squeek with some weird very faint "popping" I will put it on a stand (milk crate) and rotate the wheel by hand to get a closer look. Im sure I will pinpoint exactly what it is then. I will post back with results. thanks
