Especially if your freehub body is aluminum, check to ensure there is not galling upon it caused by the cassette. On Tuesday, December 21, 2021 at 3:28:18 PM UTC-6 Joe Bernard wrote: > As was advised and you may want to double-check, make sure there's grease > in the seattube. Of course it

Good luck, I have a Nitto S83 seat post so being a dual-bolt it was able to become quite loose without any noticeable changes to riding position. On Tuesday, December 28, 2021 at 4:01:22 PM UTC-6 upyou...@yahoo.com wrote: > > Great info here.I just notice some creaky creaks on my Platy

Great info here.I just notice some creaky creaks on my Platy while riding last weekend. It's been too wet and chilly for me to get back out and check it and it is waiting for me in my garage for diagnosis. I will check all of the above. Thanks for all the advice. Kate in New Jersey On

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

As was advised and you may want to double-check, make sure there's grease in the seattube. Of course it may just be a new Brooks breaking in (if you have one), those saddles used to drive me crazy until I adopted the same position as minor rattles in my car: "Yep, that happens." On Tuesday,

Now that you mention it, yes, I've had pedals cause this sort of elusive cadence-related creaking or, in my case, more of a clicking. In this case it was a pair of ancient Dura Ace SPD pedals, and I solved the problem by regreasing them (simply unscrewed body from bearing core, filled bearing

I know, it seems very unlikely, but I've found bars and seatposts to cause this sort of creak after long and anguished searches, and much to my surprise. On Tue, Dec 21, 2021 at 11:27 AM Philip Barrett wrote: > BB was installed by Rivendell and looks to be typical of their high > quality work.

BB was installed by Rivendell and looks to be typical of their high quality work. You know I thought seatpost, then thought...nah...but actually that does make sense. Hex head in hand now. On Tuesday, December 21, 2021 at 12:24:47 PM UTC-6 Patrick Moore wrote: > Victor may well be right in

Victor may well be right in his diagnosis, but just in case, because I've found them myself to cause elusive creaks that occured in time to pedaling rhythm. 1. If the creak occurs while seated, try tightening or greasing the mating interfaces of the seatpost in the frame and the seatpost cradle.

First; was the bottom bracket faced and chased prior to BB installation? That's 98% + the most of the time culprit. Secondly, its the old school method of doing, assuming the BB was faced and chased, is the fixed side snugged in with blue loctite? Get both of those criteria right, you should

[RBW] Creaky Creaks?

2021-12-21 Thread Philip Barrett
Trying to diagnose a problem here, there's a creak when I apply a more powerful stroke on the Platypus. It sounds like it's coming from the bottom bracket area but of course, hard to tell when I'm riding. If I'm just spinning along it doesn't appear. So far I've checked the bottom bracket
