Converted to Threaded BB...bike still creaks

[Steve Vai]

just did that, also checked the BB that it was tight enough and i'm actually able to reproduce the noise with the cranks out, not as often as when they are in and I crank hard on the peddles. would the rear shock bushings make a clicking noise?

Yes.

Have you tried turning it off and back on again?

many many times.

Yes.

I was able to grab a video.

Another place to look is the seat rails.

 

[Ryan.P]

many many times.

Creak ? Sounds more like a nail gun

Longer video would’ve been nice with what you’re actually doing.

 

[Steve Vai]

Man, that's gonna be so annoying when you find out how silly a spot that creak is coming from.

It sure will be something so silly.
We all learn things by mistakes, err well some folks do.

Others repeat the same one's.

Hope you follow through with the actual fix, so others can learn.

What are you doing in the video, just pushing on the rear of the bike ?

He's taken on some pretty big projects already trying to ween it out, so only the little stupid things are left. I've rebuilt my entire bike just to realize my seatpost binder bolt needed to be lubed.

What are you doing in the video, just pushing on the rear of the bike ?

Pushing down on the seat as hard as I can to reproduce the click/creak. I can make it happen all the time if I crank on the peddles and pull on the bars. Thought it was my BB but I had the cranks out and happened to lean on the seat and it did that clicking.

Taking a break from troubleshooting and just riding my other bike for the time being but will post as I troubleshoot and eventually figure it out. Other wise new bike?

I may cave and come see you, watch you point and say “there it is” ?

Having a quiet bike is overrated.

Not sure if this helps since it was a road bike but my buddy took apart his whole
Drive train and figured out it was the wheel axle needing grease. I could hear the sound too and it had that carbon sound but it was traveling thru the wheel.

Maybe take out axle and clean and regrease.
