Make sure you lube everything as you go as well.

Don't forget the Loctite!

I've been trialling a new method - Loctite + lithium grease paste. Results are good so far but I'm not ready to go full public yet.

Send me the recipe and I'll test it on mates bikes for you.

Has he got fresh rotors? That's the next stage of testing. Going to stop the squeak.

As a matter of fact he has been complaining of squeaking rotors. I'll apply it without him knowing to prevent any placebo effect.

But it didn't make him happy.

Perfect. PM to arrange licencing of the method.

Could possibly go in one of the drive train threads, but...
I'm getting a crunching sound coming from the drivetrain when pedalling especially in the easier gears when spinning up a hill.
Having a look at it on the stand, it looks like the chain is getting hung up/sticking at the bottom of the crank on each revolution.
Crankset is a raceface, cassette/derailleur is Shimano 12 spd and chain seems to Shimano HG.
Wrong chain? Cranks and cassette don't play nice? Something else?

So just lube then?

New chain. It sounds like one of your links has been compressed. You may be able to just remove it and insert a quick link.

Chain suck, something is worn or miss matched, There's a difference between 12speed hyperglide and the old HG-x chains too.

My hardtail has 6yrs and 7000km on it, still running the original outer lol.
I wouldn't bother

Forgot to mention it is a good chance to get all matchy matchy with your colours ...
Like my tractor with its new grip!

Exactly! That oury is going to feel so good in the back paddock
Everything feels good in the back paddock. Or so I have heard.

Thanks for all the bananas
Last silly question - can I pull the cable through from the shifter or should I remove the outer cable from the frame first?

Careful saying silly things like last silly question.
Leave the outer on the bike and just feed it through, I put a glob of grease between my fingers and lube the cable as I'm feeding it into the outer.
