Every time I ride I keep hearing this squeaking noise coming from my bike and it’s kind of annoying. I think its either one of two things. It could be coming from my shock and its corresponding parts or it could be coming from the stem (I do have carbon spacers so they could be rubbing together). Any ideas on what this could be?
Hahaha I mean, yes we can totally come up with a convincing argument for our partner or spouses, however, and hear me out here…that may not be necessary… shhh shh, I know…
Yes, it was sarcasm. The internet doesn’t always allow for correct intrepetation of comments. I apologize for anyone who may have been offended by my previous comments.
Here’s a video of the sound it makes. I know the sound of the tires is super loud but you can still hear the squeaks. I am almost certain it is coming from the bearings so they might need to be replaced. Thoughts?
Sorry it’s so short, ecmtb won’t let me post a longer video.
It typically happens when I am peddling uphill. I washed it on the weekend and before I washed it, it would squeak when peddling on flat roads too. I have a dropper on it and I ride with the dropper post all the way up (I’ve been doing a lot of street riding lately and haven’t been required to put my dropper down).
This sound has been going on for some time, I’ve just procrastinated doing something about it lol
