squeak at the middle

Post by grumpyfrog »

Got back from Op Devon and noticed I have a loud squeak.
First thoughts are its coming from the rear suspension or the rear swing arm linkage.
Before I go tearing things apart, any ideas?
Only got it when bouncing up and down.
Don't hassle me
I'll get there at some time

it would be lack of elbow lube causing the squeak when you sit on the saddle.

get stripped down and support your back end on a suitable chair and apply some cream to the offending red area.
