Desparate for help with creaks

[BaGearA]

Just went out to ride my bike and check everything is "shap" for the enduro tomorrow, now I have a creak on the bike that is driving me insane.

I'm pretty sure its coming from the crank area but not sure

 

I have already:

Cleaned and checked the BB, super super smooth.

Checked all the crank bolts , cleaned and put fresh grease on. 

Greased up the spline on the crank. 

Tightend up the locknut on the cassette.

Cleaned the whole drive train.

 

I am hopeless at this point  

 

any help will be greatly appreciated

Why do you put grease on the bolts?

[V12man]

Spray silicon spray on your shoes interface to the pedals (Q8)

 

You could try water if you have flats - silicon is slippery

[BaGearA]

Greased the axel and skewer and the bike is silent , thanks for all the help

[BaGearA]

Why do you put grease on the bolts?

Not on the bolts themselves but the treads...I know many people use locktite 

 

I just get more problems with stuck bolts rather than loose ones

[rvdm1]

Chuck the bike and get a new one, pretty sure that will fix the creak for a good while. Just repeat if the creak ever returns.

That's why I'll never own a Scott.

Last creak on my DS was a broken chainstay.....
