Squeeky wheels?

Hey. Both my wheels have started squeeking. Im getting new sprockets and chain next week, will this help with the rear squeek? What about the front wheel? Does something need oiling?
Cheers Smile

Remove the wheels and the noise should stop.

Sure it's not the brakes? Worn pads will cause a squeeking noise from the calipers, check the pads are not really worn down and replace them if they are.

That would be some of Kev's ever helpful advice.

Should you need advice on actually removing the wheels, I'm sure Ste can help you out Smile

.

Usefull advice;
Take the brakes off and see if the wheels still squeak/don't turn freely (obviously, don't actually ride the bike in this state Rolling Eyes

).

Presuming they don't, getting some grease in bearings may help, if not you'll probably need to replace them.
