chain squeak, but really?
Okay, new chain, new cassette
Chain oiled to buggery, but still i am getting, what sounds like the familiar chain squeal on gear change. Logic says its the side plate lubrication, but i really can't put any more oil on. I even didn't wipe it off just to see. So now I'm thinking it is something else... but what? cheers, Mike W |

I guess it's the only thing it can be, but I'll be amazed if they make that noise. Still I'll do it in the morning, of what promises to be a bazzing day. Surely Britain will be full of cyclists tomorrow. Light winds, warm & dry. It's been a long time. Personally planning 60 miles round the white peak Cheers, Mike W |

Personally planning 60 miles > round the white peak Jockey wheels can squeak loudly, but if it was the jockey wheels squeaking, I would expect them to squeak all the time you are pedalling, not just when changing gear. But maybe it could be something to do with them afterall. Have a closer look at everything, lube the jockey wheels and derailleur pivots, and checking the chain for stiff links. ~PB |

JWs certainly didn't look like they needed such treatment. Next on the agenda... Cheers, Mike W |
