I've got a Ti bolt that holds my shock onto my frame. It keeps creaking when I pedal, even the torqued up to the correct 10NM. Is thread lock the answer???

Give it a try. What's the worst that could happen.

I've been chasing this creak on-and-off for 10 months. Took the bolt off, cleaned it, greased it (and the washers that sit next to the carbon in the frame) and torqued it to 10NM. All good for a whole morning's ride. Next ride, after 5 miles the creak starts. Grrrr.
