Ok, I was out today which was the first time in a couple weeks. When I would back-pedal I get a chirping sound 2-3 times per revolution. I don't have any problems with normal pedalling but I suspect I probably should do something. I'm confident that this is my BB but I'll have to confirm it is not my pedal.
So, what should I expect to have to do? I've never played with my BB.
Thanks guys
First of all, what's why would you ever back-pedal mutiple revolutions?
Spin the cranks wih the bikes on a work stand. It's hghly unlikely that a bottom bracket would make a "chirping" sound. particularly under a no load situtation.

I don't know why i was back-pedalling, I just did. It does make the sound under no load though.

Well, you were right. It wasn't my BB, my rear quick release wasn't tight 100%. I noticed it more pronounced today while riding. I just found it unusual that it only made a sound while back-pedalling, today it made it regardless.
