Cant Stop Squeaking......
 
I cannot seem to find what is squeking on my bike. I have lubed my chain. What could it possibly be? What else should I lube?? It is coming when I pedal and the crank turns.
Thanks

There are squeaks, creaks, clicks, squeals and more.

sheldonbrown.com/creaks will help you understand and diagnose many annoying bicycle noises.

To get you started here, though: If it is squeaking, and it happens almost continuously while pedaling, regardless of gear or grade, one of your derailleur pulleys may be dry or contaminated.

I had my bottom bracket replaced 3 months ago and never put lube on when I installed my pedals. Not sure if this is important or not. :(

Try to tie it in with what's going on when the squeeking occurs. For instance: Only when you peddle?, only when you are peddling and standing? or sitting? Continuous? Once every wheel revolution? once every crank revolution? Only when riding not reproducable when on a work stand? Those type of questions/answers/observations can help you narrow it down. Every squeek or squeel is not a lubrication problem.
