    …Bracket that is 😉

    Fitted a new Truvativ Team GXP BB to my Anthem the other month and – low and behold it now creaks like a tired mouse whist giving the beans uphill.

    A similar mysterious creaking downstairs thing happens with my Orange 5.

    And I was following another Orange 5 around Coed Y Brenin yesterday that seemed to be afflicted with exactly the same insufferable noise.

    It’s a god damn epidemic I tell you… 😯

    I used to have a Sub 5 and my wife rides a 5. They creak like crazy unless you keep anything with a thread clean and greased/thread locked.

    I have a ticking coming from mine on the heckler twice per full turn of the cranks I’ll ignore it until it stops working.

    I had a creak coming from somewhere on the road bike. Once per revolution when working hard, must be the BB I thought… It was actually the front QR which was a little bit loose 😳

    I had the same problem, turns out raceface build/built (?) their BB’s out of some kind of cheese.
