Curved boom on S30 creaking

[marshall2389]

I'm getting severe creaking while pedaling. I recently got into an accident and also replaced the old slider boom with the new curved boom. It sounds like the creaking is coming from the upper headset/curved boom clamp area. Has anyone else had creaking issues with the new curved boom?

You're just pedaling too hard Elliot!

Seriously though - I have no experience with the "new boom" , but from what I can see it uses the same clamp system.
My experience has been, if everything else is tightened up nicely, it usually ends up being spokes rubbing on each other.

I found the source of the creak. It was coming from the inner boom that leads to the bottom bracket sliding a bit inside of the curved boom. I put a little grease on the inner boom so that it doesn't grab on the outer boom.
