Why does my derailleur squeak when I pedal?
Derailleur pulleys can squeak often sounding like a bird chirping, and you usually know it’s the pulley because the faster you pedal, the louder and faster the pulley squeaks (although models that say sealed on the side don’t). Solution: Rest your bike on its side and apply a few drops of oil between the pulleys and sideplates to silence them.

One common constant squeaker is a poorly lubricated chain. Solution: Inspect yours. If the rollers are dry and shiny, apply drip or spray lube.

Always wipe off the excess to minimize sludgy build-up.

Why does my suspension make a squeaking noise?
Worn out bushings cause more movement which in return causes those squeaking noises as well as incorrect suspension geometry.
