It hasn't made a sound in > 10K miles.

I'm not particularly heavy (~170 lbs) and the noise manifested itself when depressing any pedal-- including the dead pedal. So this was a dead give away for the noise source. Prior to lubricating, try incrementally lowering the seat and move it fore or aft just a tiny bit. You may find the noise is gone and you've lost the ability to replicate it.

Oh-my-gosh. Steve S. 97 2.8QM ex pre-physical therapy student IronMike 07-28-1999, 09:24 AM I got stuck in the hydrostatic weighing tank about 3 months ago and came in at 11% body fat. The last 5 days though, I've gone on a special diet. Lost 10 pounds in the first 4 days. Supposed to lose 10-17 in 7 days. ALL you can eat diet :) Mike |
