Ive just rebuilt my bike after taking it appart and regreasing it all, the only part i never took out was the BB, now last night was its first use in a week so its sat longer than usual, however almost every turn of the crank i am getting a sqeek which is ver annoying, is the BB to blame and how can i go about sorting it, ive heard a few bikes in the past with the same thing.
the guy i got the bike from a few months ago said the BB was only a few month old however that could just be more BS.

cheers
scott

    it could be absolutely anything.

    have a read of the sorting a noisy drive train link in the FAQs.

    found it, it should of dawned on me really, i swapped to different pedals, i took the axle out filled with appropriate grease and reasembled, no squeak, nice and smooth :)
