not sure if it makes a difference or not but i believe the front wheel bearing is out on my bike... its got XB wheels and front forks, so im almost certain it will need xb parts if different...

but maybe im wrong on the diagnosis.

in nuetral pushing the bike around i hear a grinding noise from the wheel... and when i get on the front brake it vibrates like i have a warped rotor in a car (steering wheel vibrates)

bearing?

Couldn't hurt to replace; takes about 5 min once the wheel is off. XB front bearings are 6005.2RSR (FAG bearings IIRC, but NSK and others make them as well with same specs- 47 OD, 25 ID, 12 W).
