Re: [RBW] Creaky Creaks?
I was chasing a creak on my Sam last year, it was driving me nuts, the creak was on every cycle of the cranks, I pulled the crank arms, checked the bottom bracket, greased and reinstalled the crank arms, swapped out the pedals, still creaking. Greased the seatpost. Actually replaced the bottom bracket, creak still there….turned out to be the rear axle moving ever so slightly in the drop-out,. I cleaned and reinstalled the quick release and the noise was gone.

You all make a girl feel so good about these purchases. It is good to be among like minds!

I look forward to seeing more pictures of your setup! I had a P & S rack on a bike I sold not long ago. Great rack for sure. A basket would really just be for around town. I’ll probably wait to ride it and then decide. Pretty much only need some wheels and whatever stem is going to work! Going to be a long 2-3 months of waiting. Hopefully no long delays!
