Mainly happens when cranking standing up but also on the granny on steep climbs.
I'm guessing I need to take the lower link off and clean/grease it.
Thought and tips appreciated.

Have you used the grease gun the 'nipples' underneath? Apparently they should be greased every month .....

My TB LTc had a creak from new.
Greased the top pivot and not heard a sound out of it since.

My blur LTc started creaking last week under hard peddling and hard cornering. It took a while to narrow it down to the pivot bearings. Mine had some slight lateral play in and creaked like mad when given a vicious side-to-side jiggle. Bearings being replaced now. I think I might have over tightened mine, shortening their life ๐Ÿ™
