    Just bought a new 2017 intense tracer CF, took out for 1 ride and now i have what sounds and feels like a creaking crank under load in lower gears, ie when climbing. Its a race face aefect 1×11 any ideas what this could be? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks

    2017 intense tracer… looks at spec… Pressfit BB

    Immediate candidate is that pressfit.

    The sooner pressfit is banned by the industry the better. So many friends with creaking pressfit BBs and some are constantly taking them in to be “fixed” yet again. No creak for a while, then it’s back.

    It could be something else though. Anyway, 1 ride new, back to the shop and they fix it or replace the bike with one that doesn’t do it, or refund you.

    Just checked..
    It is cinch system. I’d just check that the lateral preload is up properly finger tight. Read raceface removal and re-fitting of cinch system and you’ll see what I mean. These often cause creaks when not preloaded properly.
