Gear squeak

Hi guys,

when shifting down on my road bike (Shimano 105), I hear an awful squeaking noise. I'm assuming that this means that something needs lubricated, so I've tried to lube as many moving parts as I can, with no avail.

Any ideas what could cause this?

Cheers

    Tried dropping some oil into the shifter?

    +1 DesWeller, if that doesn't work...
    I had the same problem, managed to narrow it down to the jockey wheels by trial & error. Removed & greased the bushes and ok now. I think the lateral motion when changing gears put pressure on the jockey wheels causing the squeak - it was a very noticeable squeak too.
