26er Posted October 9, 2016 Share Well, I had all those issues with my venge. Cable routing was twisted internally and exposed under BB. They probably added an adapter to fit your crank, my bike shop epoxied mine in and lasted 24000km. You should be able to service BB with adapter in place. I had an eternal creak on the venge. It's that dumb seat post clamp at the top. Every service my LbS had to take the whole thing apart, clean the cones regrease and re fit to make sure did not creak. Hope this helps, enjoy aero, I have had to leave the aero world Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkThanks,defintely BB though,especially when I stand to climbBB is a standard Praxis with Praxis Crank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HBO Posted October 10, 2016 Share Please keep us posted on the outcome. I hope it's positive. I visited the recently to purchase a new seat post for my Venge and they sommer fit it for me as well. I must say I was very impressed by their friendliness and service in general and also the precision and care they took only to fit a seat post. I was thinking of taking my bike their for it's next service, which actually is about due. Must do it before 94.7 26er 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwissVan Posted October 10, 2016 Share Hi,as far as I understand,the Praxis BB presses in on the one side and screws on,on the otherSupposed to be the one that does not creak...Hmmm so it will creak 50% less? Looked at the praxis video and it seems like good idea to try fix a bad idea (press fit bb) IMO Â Will be interesting to hear how spaz try fix this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devocean Posted October 10, 2016 Share Thanks,defintely BB though,especially when I stand to climbBB is a standard Praxis with Praxis Crank This is going to sound stupid, but I've had the same issue with my bike. Sounded like the creaking was coming from headset, then the BB. Ended up taking whole bike apart, greasing everything, but nothing got rid of the creaking. In the end it turned out to be the front axle creaking where it met the forks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
