I am hating on my Spaz at the moment - the thing has a squeak as I pedal and I can't find the source...

I am in the same boat, or is it bike. I have given up finding the source. I now use the squeak as a "metronome" in keeping the same cadence and rhythm. Works well when going uphill.

My Epic's fork has a very light squeak when pedalling... especially when going uphilll - try taking your hands off the bars when pedalling and you can hear the noise - mine dissapears - and took a while to stop looking at the headset for the noise - but changing the fork out solves it.

Indeed I cranked it toiter than it was before, but it was not even close to loose. Maybe i should take it to the Concept store and prepare to get reamed...

Yes, but would that not be total anathema to a true Spazzer? We all know these bikes are such hi tech pieces of engineering purity, only someone with a degree from Spaz HQ can touch them.

Ya, but those are architect prices, not for mere mortals like me... besides, I cant believe the pivots are noisy after well under a year of riding, mostly in the dry....
