Squeak, squeak. Squeak, squeak. This was essentially the sound my bike was making after my first ride in the rain a few weeks ago. I kept looking at different parts of my bike and realized my bike only sounded bad when I was pedaling so it was something to do with the chain or the gears. That's as far as I was able to get in diagnosing the problem.
A few rides later this noise was still occurring. The thought did cross my mind that maybe I needed to grease my chain, but everything looked okay, so I just kept riding. Finally, someone from the club told me I needed to lube the chain so my bike would be more quiet:) I immediately went straight from that ride to the bike shop, purchased some lube and like magic the squeaking stopped! Now I know that after riding in the rain I need to lube the chain and any moving joints on the bike haha My bike knowledge is expanding, however slowly:)
