Hendrik vd Walt Posted February 13, 2016 Share My scalpel team 2014 has a terrible squeaking noise after around 2 hours of riding which I just cannot seem to sort out - I have copper pasted the chainring bolts, cleaned the drive chain, tightened the wheel axle and cassette, replace bb bearings - bike shops say the linkages are in good order - Any advice will be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nickc Posted February 13, 2016 Share Saddle - where the rails go into the front of the saddle - try spraying some wd40 in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raptor-22 Posted February 13, 2016 Share its likely the linkage at the pinch bolts and axles. The pinch bolts and axle ends where the frame members clamp the linkage axles need to heavily copaslip 'd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slakkepas Posted February 16, 2016 Share I had a problem like that as well. TorqZone then took the pivot behind the rear shock apart and put a paste between the carbon and alu bits. All sorted since then. Give them a call and chat to William, I cant remember what the paste called Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcBurger Posted February 16, 2016 Share Troubleshoot it as much as possible.does it happen when:you pedal?your feet are off the pedals and rolling?you bob up and down on the saddle?you bob up and down while standing?Sounds tend to mysteriously travel through your bike, so just listening around doesn't work. I had a squeaky old scalpel, turned out to be my pedals the one time (just needed a clean+grease) and the other times were just my spokes on my Mavic wheels.

Spinnekop Posted February 16, 2016 Share In the same boat. Same year model.When I stand on the right pedal is creeks loudly. left side pedal.....nothing. Thought my right pedal was shot.....replaced. Same crackling noise. Replace BB.Same noise. Remove SI cranks and clean.Same noise. Open all pivots and grease.Same noise Derailleur hanger grease.Same noise. The bike is now 1kg heavier with all the grease and when I climb onto it, it ooooozes grease out everywhere like a decent shammy on 'n stage race. I have finally given up.

Blackheart Posted February 16, 2016 Share I once chased a squeek around for weeks.Turned out to be a dry bottle cage bolt..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Sanchez Posted February 16, 2016 Share In rare cases, it could be the derailleur hanger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lerouc Posted February 16, 2016 Share From all the posts it sounds like it can be anything, strip bare everything and grease and rebuilt everything that can turn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
