Squeaking/Creaking on a certain part of my bike?
I own a diamondback response and as of late, I have noticed that whenever I turn the wheel to the right, somewhere in the front tire-ish area, there is a lot of squeaking. I'm wondering if anyone here could help diagnose the bike as to which part of it is making the noise and what I can do to fix it. I'm planning to take my bike to school in a little over a week for commuting and I would like this problem to be resolved ASAP.

See that link? Could be one of a thousand things. First you need to track down EXACTLY what's making the noise. Then fix the problem. Tracking it down is 99%. Once took a bike shop 3 days to track down a similar problem with one of my bikes. Let a professional handle it - bike shop time. Hopefully, it won't take them 3 days.

Could be the brakes aren't aligned. One of my bikes had the same problem. I aligned the brakes and problem solved. No more squea

find it
i am not there
guess
your brake pads/shoes are very close to the wheel
when you turn the fork, it tightens the brake a little and they squeak
