Many thanks guys! The squeak was driving me insane….good excuse to buy new ‘necessary’ parts without the Mrs. going bonkers🥳 But the squeaking is gone thanx to your explanation!

Saved me a trip to the lbs sorted👍

little hint: de-pressurize the damper and let it collapse, then no need to remove rear link, you will have access to the rearmost of the three screws anyways :-)

Nice one Fella's. I had thought the four main bolts were tight but turns out they could do with a little nip up with the chain guide bolt being the worst offender.

The evil creaks live inside the bike. They only come out while trail riding. I have an evil creak hiding somewhere in my headtube or bars. I dropped the forks, clean and regreased my headset, and redid the stem bolts. One tip is to make sure you torque the bolts to the correct spec. People think cranking down on bolts will stop the creak, but if a bolt is overtighten then it can make noise. Get a torque wrench and tighten bolts to the correct specs

Hello there My llevo has a creaks when I pedal in a uphill. When did you get the creaks in your bike? I will try your procedure. Thank you

Does it sound like you are crunching a plastic water bottle? Mine started today.

[@Petterlopez]

@@rob.granger My issue I solved, the problem was the rear hub, after clean and grease the creak sound disappeared

[@rob.granger]

@@Petterlopez Thanks, mine is just a month old, going to take it back and have them check hub and motor mounts.
