    just phone hope. they are very helpful. i think you will need the hope tool too. which is expensive in itself.

    Is it a carbon frame mate?
    Just curious.

    Same thing on my lad’s Capra. Been reading about it and a few people found it wasn’t the BB, it was the front chainring fixing loose.

    Remove it, clean it, put it all back together – that will probably stop the noise. Did on mine. Took a year and a half before it squeaked.

    Thanks guys…

    Taken all apart and all tightened back up. LBS laughed when I asked about it as they’ve had a few in with the issue. Got it booked in for a hope one so I can change the bearings etc…

    I just put new bearings in – the old ones knock out fairly easy.
