So, go do,,
I would certainly enjoy knowing what you learn and how many miles you ride, and what it costs to learn that the only way to FIGURE OUT WHY IT SQUEAKS is to follow certain logical steps.
Im sure I know which side of the Tall Table you'll sit on.
I don't know why you are offended here. I've used the advice here to check my belt alignment, pulley play, belt tension, swing arm rub/tire expansion and used the additional information to order new parts that I don't have the tools to work on and set up a shop to do the work.
Other than changing the tire, which I've stated I am willing to keep and change parts as needed, what haven't I done?
Personally I'm rather grateful that you guys have provided the information here as I would have assumed I only had to replace the front pulley bearings, which of course is wrong.l
