This is becoming the definitive thread for all things creaking and also the importance of hearing loss and how it relates to a happy life.

My N+1 is her N+1. She is planning her Santa Cruz build as we speak.

i had a similar issue that no one could nail down. I eventually solved it - it was the seatpost. but only when it was cold... when things warmed up, the noise went away... but learned a few things in the process - LBS said SPDs are not serviceable, which a 30s google search will prove wrong...

Mine is the opposite. Happens when warmed up which makes me believe it could be pivots or pedals. The two p’s that p me off to work on.

Then I’ll start hearing my back squeak.

Another cause could be spokes moving where they overlap .

Thought about that as well. Makes sense for them to “ping” under load where the wheel flexes a bit. 

Definitely worth getting the wheels trued and tensioned to spec.

I have this problem and even with truing it still does this under load. Think next would be to respoke with stronger spokes.

Had tic, tic, tic on middle cogs of cassette after muddy Origin of Trails.  Eight clicks of the barrel adjuster and it went away.

And the winner is….

Cassette. ******* piece of **** Sunrace. Been nothing but trouble from the start. 

Massive amount of fiddling and redoing the shifting from scratch and it’s quiet again.

Reason why I recently moved away from sunrace,  caused constant issues on my drivetrain. 

Will rather pay the extra money,  but sunrace never again. 

 

Glad u got the click sorted

Thanks man

Only problem is I have a HG freehub so for now I’m limited to Sunrace or SRAM NX 12 speed cassette. 

Microspline is also not available for my hub so I guess it is XD driver and GX cassette. I can’t wait 20 to 30 days for a Garbaruk cassette to arrive.
