I know this is a common complaint as has been discussed at length in these hallowed pages but I’m now at a stage where I have exhausted any suggestions I have gleaned from the archives so looking for inspiration. Mondraker Foxy XR, 2013 model with unfashionably small wheels! Loud creak from **** knows where when pedalling or when stationary and pressure applied to the pedals. Route taken so far-crankset removed cleaned and replaced, BB removed cleaned and replaced, headset bearings ditto, pedals ditto, Maxles ditto, frame pivots checked for tightness, cassette removed cleaned and re torqued, spokes checked, frame checked for cracks, rear derailleur pivot bolt checked, knees checked, saddle checked, dropper post checked, pinch bolt checked. I’ve removed the chain and stood on the pedals and the creaking dissappears but for the life of me I can’t resolve this (poor mechanics skills and knowledge may be a signicicant contributory factor though!!)
Now at a loss…any suggestions? Cheers in anticipation.
