Very good point, and think you might be right. I was thinking something like that a few hours ago after I oiled the wheels but still heard some squeaking.

I gave the wheels a good oiling with the derailleur sitting flat on a bench (I was swapping all the parts from one frame to another), then put it on the bike, but it still squeaked -- then I noticed the chain was dry
