Knowing make basic bike repairs and perform routine maintenance will take care of those annoying squeaks and help your bike perform better. Often, you can fix a squeaky bike on your own. Make sure everything is secure and add lubricant to get rid of squeaking noises.
Instructions
1. Determine what part of your bike is squeaking. If you can't figure out the exact location, try honing in on a specific area that needs repair.

3. Look at the place where your handle bars connect to the body of your bike. Also check to see that the seat attaches securely. If either one is out of place, tighten it up.
4. Lubricate your chain and gears. You can use special lubricants or use WD-40 for this purpose.
5. Inspect your brakes. Replace the brake pads or adjust them if they're rubbing on the bike.
