Spray one at a time, if you spray them all in one go you wont know which one was faulty.

The bearings on the pulleys.

Another technique to use is putting a long, heavy screwdriver on each of the components and putting your ear to it. You should be able to hear which one is noisy then. Obviously you'll have trouble doing to idlers and water pump that way and be careful!

Make sure to keep long hair or baggy clothes away from spinning things!

I was going to guess stone protector on the disk brake. Stone in it maybe - had it happen to mine a few time.
