So for the last few rides on the 'dale I've had creaks and groans. No BB30 or anything but GXP so I checked the BB = fine. Hmm, checked skewers were all tight and gave the surfaces a clean and the creaking went away YAY!... for 10 miles. The skewers are 3T ones supplied with the wheels.
Today I didn't want any creaking so remembering Dammits skewer issue I swapped them out with a very basic pair of Shimano ones (they weigh double but hey) and went out chasing hills today. Zero noise all day. Brilliant. Note to self and anyone else who cares - use Shimano skewers.
