Greetings all, I've suffered a minor but annoying mechanical creak from the front end of my second-hand Silvio 1.0 since I bought it about 9 months ago. It manifested under pedalling load, giving the impression of looseness somewhere; moreover there was another creak when lifting the...

My new Quest (559) makes a deeply-aggravating creak or series-of-clinks almost continuously when I ride. I don't know about you, but I like a smooth-running bike and this is driving me nuts! The facts: - It is a metallic creak or clinks. It brings to mind: a disk brake rotor irregularly...

...is approx 31km away - that's where I'm going. The first 10 k's, I was worried. Not about me, but about the bike. There was an alarmingly loud creak and click coming from somewhere in the front triangle area. I considered turning back, but everything felt smooth. I grabbed the joint in the TFT...

...noticeable 50 ft away). Standard problem solving ensues, no source is found (this is on his Optima Baron) and the noise has progressed to a ‘creak-creak’. Whilst continuing to problem solve, he finds the lower-rear chain-stays (both) are cracked thru about 90%. To see it, one would think it...

That's the safety widgit, so you can't accidentally have the TFT come completely apart if you happen to forget to tighten the QR. I had a noise like that on Silvio II. I swore it was coming from the carboyoke connection to the mainframe. Turned out to be a poorly adjusted aheadset. I have an...

...would happen... as soon as I share it with the world, I immediately find the solution after days of mucking around. Certainly, I did fix a creak coming from the handlebar clamp and riser the other night. I could reproduce that noise with the bike stationary by applying strain. But there was...

It got another 50 miles worth of shaking today. Creak was still there, but the other issues were good. The creak went away temporarily, but came back. I was thinking BB, too. I think I'll pull it out, wrap it with teflon tape and cinch it back down. I'm going to take a look at the top pivot...

Hey Mark - Check the BB cups for tightness - usually the Campy square taper stuff tightens okay, but some of the others will creak unless the're really tight. Only other thing I can think of is maybe a pedal bearing? Those might quiet down under load but click in free-run if there's a piece of...

Thanks, Doug and good for you for commiting to ride more! I got most of my issues resolved, though I couldn't duplicate the creak on the repair stand. I put a little mustard on the cranks, the TFT bolts seemed tight enough and I had already double checked all the carboyoke bolts before...

...my house. My shakedown cruise ended up being 63.5 miles! The only issues I had with the bike besides the triple chainring, was a mysterious creak somewhere in the front end. It was kind of weird because it would not do it when hammering, or climbing a hill. But just cruising, it was...
