Dunno but i've got a real nightmare of a squeak going on too.

Could be bushings or suspension related?

Could well be. I think I've done almost 2000mi on it, and mostly in shit weather. Is that about the life of a set of bushings?

Suspension I'll have to check, I've not got the standard block, I've got a metal spring thing. Don't seem to be able to make the sound happen by sitting there and bouncing up and down on it.

Squeak sounds annoying, when's that happening?

2000 miles is quite a lot for a set of bushings I think. I've got wear in mine from less than that.

My squeak is mostly in line with left pedal strokes but as far as i've checked it's not drivetrain related so i'm wondering if it's torsion through the main hinge under pedal load.
