sounds like your back wheel might not be seated properly? could it be that there's more paint on one side of the drop out than the other?

disc mount is aligned, frame is bare alloy.
only does it when not pedaling.

I've had 2 never had that problem,

It obviously can't be the paint as there is non Mrnutt!

Build quality is usually spot on with these bikes, so i would be surprised if it was the alignment of the brake tabs or rear triangle.

Have you tried the brake on another bike, it might be worth a try to eliminate one thing or'tuder.

Seems wierd that it does it when you freewheel.

almost as though the pull of the chain is straightening the alignment?

I'd try another wheel first as it's easy to do and will at least eliminate one thing.

Try the Ventana forum on Mtbr.

If this is a fairly old frame it could be that the bearings are worn!

Ventana solo or ECdM tandem? When we built Nancy the tandem I took the Hope Ti6 brake and Hope/Mavic back wheel from the cannondale and swapped them onto the ECdM. Only change was going up to 203mm disc, but we now get a howling from the back brake that was never there on the 'dale. Only when braking though, no problem freewheeling.
Have read via the Double Forte tandem forum that this is a common problem, seems to be a harmonic issue in Ventana rear triangles.
