If you get squeaky plates a little oil should sort it out.”

Really? I must be the only one in the world with this problem. For years, my plates have not just squeaked, they have been SHOUTING “here comes Dave”! They are so loud that birds fall out of the sky from the acoustic concussion, and no amount of oil, grease, or any other kind of lubrication makes a bit of difference. I could soak the entire bike and shoes in a bathtub full of oil and they will still sound like a hungry monster from some lagoon, ready to tear apart and devour anything it its path.

Okay, so I might be stretching it a little bit, but I cannot quiet my plates to save my life. Have you heard of this sort of thing before? I’ve tried EVERYTHING I can think of, but everyone still knows when I’m around. Any other suggestions?

Thanks

Dave.
