Hey everyone, been out on 2 rides last couple of days and have noticed when pedaling that there is a screech/squeal coming from the chain set or bottom bracket! Anyone any ideas what this could be? It only happens when I'm pedaling.
If its a knackered bottom bracket anyone suggest a replacement? It's a shimano deore chain set that's currently fitted.

    Something worn out.

    Poor set up?

    Pedals?
    Anything work though it part by part.

    Parktools is a good place to start.

    Cheers for the advise. I'll do as you suggest and work through each part and see if I can narrow it down!

    I just pulled off a set of old Wellgo flats that were making an unholy racket whenever they were under pressure.
