Tatt Posted April 11, 2017 Share Okay, so I've been for a quick trip up Paarl mountain and have some feedback. First of all, super impressed with this 1x11 setup. Shifts are so quick and smooth. Sunrace cassette and it's wide range is a real enabler. Back to your original question, the chainline is by no means quiet but it is no worse than my 1x10 so I suppose I'm already used to a somewhat noisy granny gear. I installed everything very quickly so I suspect a bit of tweaking might help a little...perhaps. My solution, put some hairy chested draggy tyres on and you won't hear anything else Jokes aside, my Pyga has an insufferable creak which is driving me nuts. Had it for a pivot service and fork/shock service but still creaking like an old boat. Headset on my 110 would creak after a while - have a look at that. I also made the mistake of getting a Spez saddle... It bugs the hell out of me with its constant creaking! Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadenceblur Posted April 11, 2017 Share Mine was also creaking a while back and I eventually traced it to a "dry" pedal. Stripped, cleaned and greased and the creak is gone. mine also had a creak and reason was quite ominous..How long have you had the bike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Lawless Posted April 11, 2017 Share That was directed at PykaFrame is just under 2 years old. So what was the ominous reason for the creak? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grey Hubs Posted April 12, 2017 Share I also had a gammy granny, almost sounded like the front derailleur was rubbing, but with 1X that's obviously not possible, had it on my Trance and transferred it to my 110, this is where I discovered that I had the wrong q-factor on my crank. Bought the correct crank ( phoned Pat and Hilton to get that) and voila, a quiet bike!!what was the correct Q-factor ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tatt Posted May 21, 2017 Share Forgot to add, the first bikes will be raw, and size "L" initially. Luckily the daughter has agreed that I can sell her 120 (figure skating is taking precedence over bike riding for some reason!), so she is safe for now!
