Did you ever see Apollo 13? When Kevin Bacon had the "NO!" note taped to the switch that detached the rest of the spacecraft and would have killed Tom Hanks and Bill Pullman? You can really never ever be too safe, I suppose.

Also, any input on tracking down this squeak when I pedal, greatly appreciated.

Have either tightened/lubricated/cleaned every single pivot point and moving joint on that bike, including and not limited to 1. front fork shocks 2. center shock spring 3. the bolts in that entire pivoting assembly where the shock attaches to the back part of the frame 3. Inside and outside of where the cranks go into the crank housing

The only place I havent gone after is the handlebar stem. That's only because why would it squeak when I pedal and the guy at the LBS who worked on her last, got so aggro when he fastened it down, I seriously doubt that thing can move enough to squeak.

I'm about to lose all semblance of my crap, and short of dunking her in a swimming pool of 3 In 1 Oil, I am at a loss. Not to mention, she only squeaks when I'm in the saddle, and after 2-3 blocks.

I want to be patient so I don't become one... but that's wearing thin.
