    You're on the right track, it's the pivot cups that squeak.

    baby powder in the pivot cup works for me. plus it keep u smellin baby fresh.

    i find the squeaks are more intense in cold winter weather, far more than these spring/summer temps...

    powder based lubricant is the way to go
    Keep the shiny side up and the rubber side down.

    Wear a helmet.....please.
