Hey all, not posted int eh workshop for a while but hey,

The back end of my city fly squeaks a lot and no idea why, having looked on youtube all the city flys I've seen on there squeak as well in the same way.

Is it just something to do with this bike or is it something I could sort out on my own or is it something that would cost a fortune?

No problems with the feel of the suspension and it's a comfy ride, just squeaks when getting on n off and if bounced on.

Cheers!

You should have a rubber bung looking thing at the bottom of the rear suspension.

This gets hard and squeaks...both of mine had the same noise. When I popped a bit of vaseline in there it was quiet for a bit.

Nope...but both of mine failed for overly stiff rear suspension.

Reason being the bearing that sits on the lower bolt on the swing arm gets so corroded its unreal. Definitely worth unbolting it and making sure its free and chuck loads of grease in there Thumbs Up
