I've greased bb (King) and suspension pivots, headset (King) has not long been serviced, only happens when seated, could if be the Revive?

Probably,mine is creaking really badly recently. Service kit is about £15 and looks pretty easy to do.

A creak was why I joined this forum, the answer seemed too simple after checking all sorts and replacing the bb, some grease on the seat post where it goes into the frame cured it, took 20 seconds.

Can be many things including the revive but always worth checking the saddle rails first.

Both where they are clamped and where they enter the saddle itself.

Clean the areas thoroughly and try a little grease on the clamp and a bit of oil on the rails where they go into the saddle.

With creaks I always start with the easier places first then work upwards according to the "pain the the rear" graph.

The creak is never where you initially think it is either. Ever.

This means it might not be the revive or the saddle.😁

Another way of checking creaks is to get a little water spray and spray on one location. Recreate creak. If it still creaks, move on to the next location. Water is normally enough to momentarily stop it or at least change its sound, without getting oil or grease in places you don't want it.

When i had an XD freehub on a Hope Pro Evo 2 i sometimes had to douse the back of the cassette in water to shut the bloody thing up.

Got 4 Revive posts.
Only creaks I've ever had had from them have been from the saddle clamp.
Clean, grease and re torque sorts it.
