Since our beloved Socos run on the roads and roads are full of bumps usually noises are created every now and then. So I would suggest we upload videos about how we deal with those noises in order to inform others to deal with them.
I have 2 videos, one about a squeak of the rear shock absorber and the other about a knock from the rear everytime I hit a bump. Hope they help

One thing about online forums is the community of people who have the same/similar bikes & passion for them and willing to share, tweaks, fixes or modifications to make the bike even more enjoyable!
Also how bigger the community, how better the reactions are! Hopefully we can expand this forum soon!
I really love this bike. Riding it, relaxes me so that I don't want to worry about anything . That metallic knock sounded like there was play in the suspension. Now you can only hear the wind blowing on the helmet.
In another thread I posted that I had bought a can of compressed air (as used for cleaning computers and keyboards), and used it around the brakes in an attempt to blow out the dust which causes the brakes to squeak when it rains. So far I'm getting silent braking again, although I haven't ridden in the rain yet but I am hopeful that this is a safe, effective and simple solution to squeaky brakes.
The next time you spray your brakes again, do you mind taking a photo too? So I'd have an idea where you're pointing the nozzle tip on to get the brake dust out. (thanks!)
I'm just guessing really, but I try to get into anywhere that the disc meets the brakes. Blowing air in there, I hope, will clear any loose dust and stop the squeaking.

Fantastic! If it works for you should for others. Thanks for sharing the photos @ajpegg
Interestingly, there seems to be ample space in the caliper. Odd how the brake dust builds up. (would the type of brake pad materials make a difference over another?)
I was told that it collects because the discs are not ventilated. If you look at other brake discs they have holes in them.
