[Closed] Advice: creaking push fit bottom bracket driving me mad

Hi All,

After some advice please: have replaced the push-fit bottom bracket of my alloy YT Jeffsy (BB92) with some Hope bearings, as the race-face bearings barely lasted a winter...

Even purchased the Hope fitting tool, which made getting the new bearings fitted easy.

Problem is, I have a creaky bottom bracket when I put the power down.

I fitted the bearings with a smidgen of standard bike grease to help fitting. Should I have done this? Or should I have used: a) no grease, b) smear of copper grease, c) smear of a.n.other compound?

Or does anyone have any other tips/tricks they can share, please?

TIA
