Creak on my Stage Evo, help

Good luck.

Try and narrow it down, only when pedalling, only when sat down etc etc.

Could be the crank, could be a bearing, could be a pedal, seatpost, shock bushing... Etc etc

Changed cranks , pedals , saddle, rear wheel and new bushes in shock and still creaks , noise happens when pushing through its pedal rotation and also when the bike is static and pushing down on the saddle to move shock and pivot

Had a creak on a YT Jeffsy that was driving me round the bend, changed all frame bearings and completely stripped the bike and rebuilt it, with no joy. Turned out to be a very small crack on the nut that held the mech hanger on to the frame, sorted with new hanger

Saddle rails/seatpost?

If you're not on good terms with your lbs then my bet is they used a complete lack of grease.

Or over preloaded bb perhaps.

Can't really help, but was considering an Orange as new bike so doesn't bode well that they are still a bit "cracky"..

Pedals or saddle I reckon.

Yeah was also gonna mention pedals & grease plus the lil bit of grease needed on saddle rail clamp.

Have you checked the bearings? My old Alpine 160 creaked/cracked when my bearings wore out. I know yours are new but could be worth checking they’re done up too tight. Same with shock hardware (and I assume BB).

I regularly abused my 2012 Alpine for 8 years and it never cracked or broke the frame (I wore ever other component out at least once in that time though).

Can be a wild one without seeing feeling bike but one thing to check is if your seat post if slammed all the way on the collar can cream .I managed to squeeze a 200mm dropper in my five Evo but raised the post 1mm above the collar and creak disappeared.long shot but .....
