  • I bet you £500 that I could build the bike without the creak, and there would be no creak until the bearings were ready to be punched out again. There's nothing wrong with BB30 if it's installed correctly - and the frame was manufactured correctly in the first place.

  • When I first installed mine it was silent.

    After 500km or so it started creaking.

    I don't believe it's anything to do with the bearings needing replacing.

    I believe it's because some dickhead decided that alloy bearings, in an alloy frame, with an alloy spindle, was a clever idea.
