So, figured out my creaking and cracking sounds by replacing the bearings with enduro bearings and things are allot smoother. Wouldn’t go with nukeproof bearings again as they all ceased up pretty quickly, say 7-8 months.

Ok, so not sure if this is a new sound but my 2013 mega tr frame makes loud cracking sounds from the BB pivot but only when its tightened to factory spec. When the pivot bolts are loosened the bike runs smooth. Any Ideas ?
