^^ When bike is dry, get a spray bottle with water in (a bit of washing up liquid too if you want)... And spray small specific parts at a time. Ride a little... See if noise has gone...Repeat till you find the creak.

Hopefully.👍

I did this once to find a creak on a Marin QUAD 2 years back.

I have similar noises from XD cassette interface with a freehub. Such an annoying thing.

And the tip above with the water - that's the way to go!

I won't ask your age on here but try a few deep squats off the bike, it could be your knees (cod liver oil goes some way to help).

+1 for free hub bearings, just serviced mine and no more creaks, could have sworn it was the bb initially

Well I did loads of stripping down and re greasing on Friday and I didn’t appear to have any creaks today! It was only 5 miles so will go for a longer ride tomorrow and see if it returns!
