About three weeks ago I developed a squeaking sound I believe comming fom the front. Only can hear it comeing up to a light or leaving the parking garage when I hit bumps. Had my forks rebuilt last year. No fluid leaking from the forks. I'm afraid if I let it go too long it may be something serious. Anybody have an idea for me what to look at?. Can't reproduce the sound sitting on it bouncing up and down. I'm stumped. Thanks Mike.

where it exits the seals.  See if that changes the sqeak or elimates it.

Brake dust?

I can't help about the shape I'm in
I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to

Barring any mechanical problems with the front end I would say that the noise is from the brake pads rubbing on the rotors.

A squirt from a water gun will quickly reveal if that be the cause.
