• Resurrecting an old thread!

    My daughters track bike has developed a terrible creak under load. It isn't the saddle or seat post as it happens when out of the saddle. I did think it was the BB (Miche Pistard Air), but I took everything out, cleaned, regressed and did up to the correct torque. Still happening.

    Any ideas? I'm wondering about the rear wheel, and maybe that needs a check?

  • It was last posted in 8 days ago, it's not exactly a zombie thread.

    Pedals? Chainring bolts? Bars/stem? Does it happen once per revolution or randomly?

  • Solved my last squeak-based (most noticeable when grinding up hills) annoyance yesterday. Pedals were, on inspection, just about to explode off the spindles; washers and bearings all shot to sh*t.

  • Sorry, my mistake I only got to page 51 and not to the end of the thread. :)

    I have checked the chainring bolts, but I'll double check them.

    I'll take a look at the pedals. They are basic Look KEOs but are 5+ years old now I reckon. The creaking is loud but I guess the sound could travel through the cranks and through the frame.

    Next time she is on the bike I'll check if its happening per rev or not. Thanks!
