Been noticing this squeak with each rotation especially immediately following going over a big bump or bumpy patch but can’t tell where it’s coming from. It seems to come and go but I think it’s getting worse.
For reference it’s a 2013 6 speed super light in 3rd and 5th gear
Anybody know what this squeaking sound is?

I’ve had similar sounds and traced it to where the hinge clamp and the frame rub against themselves under torque. A very thin amount of grease on the areas that rub solved it. Hard to tell from the video, but hopefully that’s the issue.
Found a pic online that shows the areas I’m talking about.

See the areas where the green paint has rubbed off? That’s from the frame rubbing against itself when unfolded and where it needs a thin amount of grease to stop noises. Same goes for similar areas on the hinge clamp.
