Bike noise, creak, click, creaks, clicks, clicking, pinging sound - help

You're probably right (read that piece ages ago and filed it away); however unless you're starting with a correctly installed set-up, then it makes fault diagnosis that much harder.

Yeah, I see what you are saying... It's a great design but there's obviously enough people getting issues that it's something to do with shell width tolerances and the axle being able to shift under load.

Going to disassemble everything and try adding an extra wavy washer I reckon, might even invest in a torque wrench but this then means I need the campag tool instead of a 10mm allen key : /

Bah!
