My Force AXS rear derailleur is squeaking. It seems to be when lateral pressure is put on it. It doesn't seem to be from the hanger nor from the cassette- it seems to be from the pivots or maybe the clutchular area. I haven't dicked around with it yet, but it will be on my list. Usually it rears it's head when I am in a low gear and really torquing. I know that this is a MTB forum, but with so much SRAM shit around these days, I'm wondering if anyone else has seen it. I see a thread on reddit about a feller with a GX Eagle derailluer that is doing the same thing. Something about a B bolt pivot?

How will making it smell like sheep help?
Well, I would have suggested eating a diet of deep fried popcorn chicken and elephant ears to up his internal oil content. Thus increasing the lubricity of his “exhaust” and then have him squat at leave a little sandwich on his axs to eliminate the squeak. But I thought that would have been a little over the line. Dunno?
