Anyone knows what headset bearings to use for a CAAD12?
Fully integrated tapered headset bearings. Same as the CAAD10. Good discussion on replacement options here.
I have a creak on the handlebar and tried everything except grease/replace them.
You can strip it all down, clean it up, re-grease the surfaces then put it all back together relatively easily. If you haven't done it before, google 'integrated headset service' or something.
Can I use Marine Grease?
Yes. It's pretty thick but good for UK conditions...Phil grease is also top notch. Standard 'shop' grease will do, too.
On the crank, they use a white grease. What type/brand of a grease is this?
Might be lithium. Lithium is OK, but dries up after time.

Removed headset, apply anti slip in head tube, refit it.
Or take it to the shop you brought it from to get them to sort it out.
