first of all I switched the qr to an internal cam shimano xt. I put the grease inside the chainstays where the hub meets the frame and inside the chainstays where the "axle" contacts the frame. I didnt put much or any grease between the qr – frame -connection.
I also took off all the chainring bolts and went quite overboard spraying the grease between bolts and chainring arms; and between chainrings and spider.
what did you grease on the QR? where it contacts the frame. I am going to give that a try as I have flimsy ti xc mtb ones. the noise from mine varies from nothing to creak/tick and then KNOCK
i will genuinely be amazed if its not BB creak as ever single one of my bikes has had BB creak after a while. or have I just been living a lie?
