    had my Five since 2009 and its always been the rear mech hanger needing a bit of lube on the screws or the rear wheel QR needing clealing and a bit of lube

    a few months ago a proper crazy creak started and would not stop

    did the normal stuff and also cleaned and lubed anything with a thread and still it was there

    in the end I took a gamble and got a BT Swiss thru bolt and a couple of new caps for the hope rear hub

    not a peep out of it since

    the bike has never been so quiet

    think it cost me about £30 to £35 for all the bits

    deffo worth thinking about or just try a QR off another bike
