mine squeeked once or twice, and I can get it to repeat this sometimes. As soon as I tightened the seat strap a little after a mile or two it stopped.

I'm hopeless though and tend to take way longer to get anywhere complicated. Yup. If all you're going to do is follow a breadcrumb trail, you may as well be at ...
