More than one, actually. A whole, shall we say, "chain" of them. Yep, my first week of enjoying the silence of the Silver shifter and I hear this tiny squeak. Once. Twice. Silence. Oh... must've been some truck's brakes on the distance... or a gate hinge. Wait, no... there it is again. And again. And again.
Within five minutes I was hearing a steady series of rather load squeaks when and only when I pedaled. Hmmm... what would Grant do? What would Sheldon do? So I hopped off my bike and lubed my chain. Took less than three minutes, including digging the lube out of my capacious SaddleSack. My chain has never actually squeaked before. But it has made scrape-y grind-y not-good noises when I don't practice Good Chain Management. So I do carry lube. The effect was immediate. So now my chain is silent once again. The Peace of the Silver Shifter is restored. Or it was temporarily. Soon enough I heard another isolated squeak. But it never grew into a continual series of them. For the remaining half-hour of my ride home from work, my chain would squeak every nowand then. In a classic bit of irony, as I get used to the joy of quiet, smooth, balanced, engaging friction shifting with my new Silver shifter cockpit, my chain now squeaks every time I shift gears.
