squeak at the middle
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.

I'll get there at some time

Just like mine - who needs bearings when there is rust !!!!

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.
