I'm gonna whip these out today and re-grease the headset, front QR etc.

Just wondering if anyone else has had any experiences with these things creaking and if there's anything specific to look for?

They're only 2 or 3 months old and had a relatively easy life so (manufacturing defects aside) I can't imagine they're damaged.

Nothing obvious when descending, it's mostly noticeable when climbing.

Rider weight is ~68Kg, alu steerer if any of that helps.

I'd sent 'em back.

I weigh about the same as you and have the same model Alu steerer). They are 18 months old, have been given a lot of hammering and don't creak.

HTH.

Hmmm, maybe I'll mail them and see how the land lies...
