I squeaked to and from work today, and unfortunately because of working a double shift tommorrow and other commitments the next I won't be able to address the situation for a couple days (I'll probably have to switch bikes to ease my annoyance). I'll post the outcome when I figure it out.<br /><br />Dan, yes I am considering one on the Mundo...that is the only complaint I have from the v1 Mundo to the v3...the opriginal had a full chain guard.Joehttp://citysimplicity.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2514589635991570772.post-32826469040083238972010-10-15T09:56:49.659-04:002010-10-15T09:56:49.659-04:00Joe,

They are great but after ten years of wintery riding I'd replace it, and if it is an old cup-and-cone affair I'd go for a cartridge bottom bracket for a winter bike. I would guess that the bottom bracket cups aren't on as tight as they used to beDr C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10234078254243840589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2514589635991570772.post-38099478299213422122010-10-15T04:45:49.737-04:002010-10-15T04:45:49.737-04:00We've had 'mystery squeaks on bikes where ...We've had 'mystery squeaks on bikes where we attached chain guards in the shop. The suggestions above make sense, but it may halp to check that the Right hand (Chain side) crank isn't rubbing against the edge of the large hole it goes through. It isn't obvious from looking at the bike, so we've spent hours trying to find a squeak that was really that simple. If it is that the shop can cure it by sliding the chainguard forwards.Andy in Germanyhttp://www.workbike.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2514589635991570772.post-49167030889737892002010-10-14T21:47:27.109-04:002010-10-14T21:47:27.109-04:00Your crank isn't tight enough.

I <br />f you greased the bearings and races before re-assembly then the odds are that something IS rubbing at the cotterless crank mount.<br /><br />It could be that the assembly is too loose or too tight.<br /><br />Good luck, I hate squeaks too.DanThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03139907729168057657noreply@blogger.com
