Baza Posted October 29, 2007 Share Hi , I have a Cannondale CAAD 7 Ultegra / Dura ACE and FSA RD400 Wheels When i pedal there is a very pronounced creaking which sounds like it is coming from the crank. I have taken it in to Cross Town Cycles where they have stripped everything and when i take it on long ride again it still creaks. I did a 130k Cycle this weekend and even when i am on a flat it creaks. When i climb hills it creaks. I have taken the bike back again and they still say they can not find the fault of the creaking. I have had the stem replaced and everything has been tightened. Any help would be great. From Creaky ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreZA Posted October 29, 2007 Share Okay, it might just sound like it's from the BB but it can actually be the seat post, seat clamp, stem or handlebars. Re grease everything and try again. I would say that is 95% of cases the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thug Posted October 29, 2007 Share Is the bike not haunted ? Maybe get a priest and sprinkle some holy water over it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote'] Yup, had the same problem with my CAAD5 frame (and with my Alu Giant frame before that), most times it's just the seat post clamp. And I would not grease the seat post itself.....

Windbreaker Posted October 29, 2007 Share Does it creak on the downhills? Guess you've realised you're not going to get much help here on this one. Windbreaker2007-10-29 04:00:14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ditty Posted October 29, 2007 Share Had the same problem, ended up that it was the front skewer that came loose as i road, causing the creak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racman Posted October 29, 2007 Share baza. Old Cannondale problem. No Spinnekop, just when I was finally beginning to believe that Cannondale is the perfect bike !!!! Next thing you'll tell me is that there is no Father Christmas, and Humpty Dumpty was PUSHED !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallrebel Posted October 29, 2007 Share My Cannondale had a creak in it and at the end of the day it was the quick release that needed some grease. Very difficult to find a creak on a bike. Start at one point and work your way down. Do only one thing at a time. It can even be your bottle cage that's not lekka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
