I once had a mysterious creak that took me a month to track down. After a fresh drivetrain cleaning and lube (which is like every other ride for me), it would be silent - until 20 minutes into the ride. So annoying! I finally tracked it down to insufficient grease on the inner part of the Eagle cassette.

[@mtbsavant5414]

Boom!

[@jmhagle]

Yeah, I have a creak on a brand new carbon YT that I only hear 20 mins into each ride that I swear is coming from the bottom bracket. Started only on right pedal strokes under load, now on both sides. Think maybe its cassette related?

This is helpful! I'm trying to isolate a creak. I just took the seat apart and regreased and cleaned all the parts. I'll see if I can isolate it.

[@tc4767]

I was convinced my BB was bad because there was a creak every time my right pedal hit about 6 o'clock. So after I had it replaced you could imagine my frustration when it still creaked. I later realized it was one of my suspension bearings, a little bit of cleaning and grease fixed it.

[@mtbsavant5414]

Yup I see that all the time!

[@AdamPSutton]

I can't thank you enough. I have been chasing a clicking/creaking for months, even the local bike shop couldn't solve it.

Cleaned it up, greased it and now it is silent! THANK YOU!

I had a mysterious creak once which I couldn’t seem to get rid of. Checked everything on the bike, though didn’t actually replace loads of stuff. Turned out to be my shoes. No, not the cleats, (I tried changing those) one of the shoes creaked on every pedal stroke! I only found out when they started falling to bits and I bought another pair. I only bought them in the first place because they were cheap!

Great video Savant! You are telling me that my bike will creak if I don't maintain it???!!!! NO!!!! lol I had a creak on my SB6 a year ago and I thought it was the bottom bracket, the sound was coming from the BB but it ended up being the steer tube on my fox fork. I solved the problem by selling my fox 36, replacing it with another fox 36 and not then buying anymore fox components lol. And I've had too many other issues with PF bb's until I swapped it out with a Wheels threaded cup bb. The was one of the greatest purchases I've ever given to my SB6. Sorry, had to write you a book, I hate bike creaking with a passion.

[@mtbsavant5414]

Thanks for sharing your experiences dude! I ran a wheels manufacturing BB on my old SB5 and it stayed quiet for as long as I owned that bike.

Working in a shop I can confirm. 9 times out of 10, it's not the bb.

[@mtbsavant5414]

[@TrailBikeMike]

After checking and lubing everything (twice!), I still had a creak. Turned out to be the rear brake hose moving as the suspension compressed. All it needed was a little grease and it was gone. Sometimes it is something so simple.

[@mtbsavant5414]

Glad you got that one nailed. That feeling when you finally solve a creak is the best!

[@b.s.adventures9421]

Great tips. Might I suggest. Green lock-tight works much better on chain ring to crank interface than grease. Same same as when installing the actual press fit bottom bracket bearings. Fills the small voids. Grease will push out eventually and your creak will return with the little bit of movement between the two surfaces.

[@mtbsavant5414]

Great tip. Thanks for sharing

[@jeffster7]

I had a noise that only clicked 2 times per complete full cycle, on riding uphill or first few cranks starting out from a complete stop; HARD to find on the stand with no stress! I just bought for my brother, a practically new bike from someone that never found time to ride it. I knew it was not a tired bottom bracket or anything serious of course; I found it was a loose nut on the back wheel; looks like it never got assembled right; there's only 300 miles on this bike, and it has a loose wheel nut? Not tightened to spec from the bike shop or factory. It was only on the left side away from the gears; was quite loose, without much play in it however; but not even finger tight.. 3/4 inch nut, or mm equiv. The loud click was from the loose nut and the lock washer caught between nut and main washer. Wheel did not come off when riding; but I'm amazed original owner did not see that, before selling it to me. It made all the difference to fix one thing at a time; test ride it, and I could tell instantly I had my culprit! Had to re-align the back caliper too; glad I just purchased a rotor alignment shoe that fits over the rotor when adjusting; worked like a charm; I find them difficult to adjust properly otherwise. It was definitely out of alignment once the wheel was on tight; it would not spin for long when on a stand, without realignment, and when I loosened the caliper, took it out of the equation; all was well... nice to have a bike stand, can't recommend it enough; if you like bikes, get a stand.
