I hear a squeek/grind coming from our 2004 Trek T-2000 that we've narrowed down to coming from the front BB area. It developed during a rain ride. Well, I guess it could still be a loose chainring on the captain's cranks, or timing chain ring on the rear cranks, or a loose crank arm of the front set. But I guess I'll start with the BB bearings and eccentric.
I plan to try disassembling the cranks and eccentric to clean and regrease. I found this: http://www.tandembicycling.com/439/tech/servicing-the-eccentric-bottom-bracket, which looks helpful.
However, did I hear somewhere that some Teflon tape should be used when reassembling a BB or an eccentric? Not sure.
