My Klein has developed creaking noises as I ride. It's in time with pedal rotation so I suspected the bottom bracket, but having changed it yesterday the creaking remains the same. What else to look for? Pedals?
Thanks
Had this for ages and couldn't work it out. Have a look at your seatpin.
Rear QR.
Knees.
Don't think it's the seat pin as it still creaks when I'm out of the saddle.
May sound strange but check your headset - I had a similar problem and turned out to be my headset....
Seatposts can creak when out of the saddle (frame flex causes it) - I've had this a couple of times on mates' bikes when the post was very dry in the frame.
Pedals, QRs, chainring bolts are other sources of creaks that are often missed.
QR's - checked
Chainring bolts - checked
Seatpost - dry - greased
headset- tightened - not tightened enough after recent new stem
knees - hmmm
Creaks gone
Thanks
had a creak on mine for a few months now i have tried everything i find getting it wet and muddy stops it
