In the upper rocker arm there are four fairly small sealed bearings, three of them are fine, one of them is screwed- and it’s the one that is above the chainset and likely bore the brunt of most hose action. Lesson learned there.
I have emailed Pace asking for a full bearing set, I’ll take it back apart when they arrive, clean it all again and press the new bearings in.

If it's just creaking they might just need repacking. if you're washing your bike with hose or pressure washer or the likes, give the bearings a spray with something that's got s surfactant in like teflon to provide another barrier for the water to get through.
