Hi,

My fixy has developed a squeak, it sounds like its coming from the internal frame almost like a frame under stress or strain around the pedal, chain area.

It’s a aluminium frame with carbon folks, the noise seems to appear when I cycle only (not when i'm pushing)

With limited bike knowledge I thought it could be a bearing, a crack somewhere........

Any thoughts & advice would be appreciated please.

Thanks,

Hops

Have you tried taking the bottom bracket out, cleaning and regreasing the threads then putting it back in?

I will try cleaning the bottom bracket as suggested, thanks.

There's no need for rolled up jeans when cycling in a skirt is perfectly acceptable- pockets too for iphones on days when the over priced satchel doesn't match the skirt! Try it!

I ride fixed for my daily commute, but definitely don't fit the whole 'hipster' sh*t - however today a proper, pure blood hipster rocked up at the traffic lights. So skinny I couldn't tell if it was a bloke or a chick, even tighter jeans, rolled up, small d-lock tucked into the back of his belt, messenger bag - the ****in works.

Running in heels is difficult, isn't it?

Assuming horizontal slot dropouts, check your track nuts are tight.

Sounds like the bb or crank bb interface.
Or maybe your knees.
